Hmm… in 0.9.7 here, the “version check” box is off, and I still get prompted for the new update… Is that normal?
Yes, that’s basically the idea: we don’t want Ubuntu/Debian users installing RPD through Debian package be prompted for an update when they expect to update the package through the packaging system. If they want to follow the upstream packages, they are still free to use the installer, but since they chose the package, I think we should assume they don’t want to be bothered with those checks.
I agree. this was only a quick suggestion.
Adding something we can patch easily in constants.py makes sense to me. It’s pretty much what I was getting at in my proposal…
