Akiradnews is an empty package that shows the news ( only if I had added a new package ) with zenity, kdialog or dialog. Redirect to this site if you press ok or yes. Is localized on Italian, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish. IT WORK ONLY IN EVENT OF INSTALL OR UPGRADE ITSELF!
AKIRADNEWS IS NOT AN ADDWARE!
if you want to disable this package, you can edit this file:
sudo gedit /etc/akiradnews.conf
(or for kubuntu
sudo kate /etc/akiradnews.conf
or for other *buntu
sudo nano /etc/akiradnews.conf )
and write the follow line
news=disable
save and exit
and if you want to remove you can install this empty package:
akiradnews_40001231_all.deb
or compile it from source
akiradnews_40001231.tar.gz
you can also compile empty package from original akiradnews package
apt-get source akiradnews
then remove debian/postinstall and usr/*
cd akiradnews
rm debian/postinstall
rm -rf usr/*
edit debian/changelog set date 20080102 to 40001231
gedit debian/changelog
sudo apt-get install debhelper devscripts
sudo debuild -b
sudo dpkg -i ../akiradnews*.deb
and without rebuild nothing else you have removed original akiradnews for ever!
This package also help you to remove all akirad.net package in event of upgrade. It's natural that all package not need akiradnews to work, but akirad.net is not ubuntu official repository and so you can have problem when upgrade to next version of ubuntu. In this way with a simple sudo apt-get remove akiradnews you can prenvent any upgrade problem!
Anyway thanks for trust akirad.net!
