PPAs are for better or worse widespread. (To my understanding) if a PPA were to be compromised, an attacker could introduce packages outside of the core scope of the PPA (e.g. somebody could introduce a backdoored version of systemd via a pipewire PPA). For this reason, it'd be useful if Discover shows which repo a package update is coming from, to give the user a chance to see something unusual.
It does tell you that, right in the "Source" row at the bottom of the page.
Ah, I see it. Then could we change this to: "Request: move source above the description in the discover package details"? Rationale: it's important to know if a PPA is giving you a core package. Description could easily push source below the fold, as of course could the reviews.
Sure, seems reasonable.

Git commit 862a1f5a7762bdb681567556df577555718889cb by Nate Graham. Committed on 04/02/2022 at 02:49. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Overhaul app page With VDG guidance and mockups, this commit aims to increase the aesthetic qualities and usefulness of the Application page in the following ways: - Move all the metadata from their rather hidden location on the bottom of the page to much higher up on the page in a new layout - Add a defined header area that contains entirely informational metadata and screenshots - Make all the actionable metadata (e.g. "read documentation," "visit homepage," "report bug") into buttons - Improve the license display by only showing the first two when there are a lot, with a "show more" button to see them all - Make the main content area centered rather than left-aligned when the page is wide enough to have the content area's maximum width limited Related: bug 438920 FIXED-IN: 5.25 M +429 -189 discover/qml/ApplicationPage.qml M +1 -1 discover/qml/ApplicationScreenshots.qml M +1 -1 libdiscover/resources/AbstractResource.cpp https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/commit/862a1f5a7762bdb681567556df577555718889cb
