Why so complicated?

[stucki]

This is just a feedback, not a bug report. Even though it contains some critism, I'd like to thank you for your work on Tomate! I'm sharing my feedback because I think it would help to make it even better...

• The Ubuntu repository has moved away from Launchpad. I see a news about it on https://launchpad.net/tomate/+announcement/13290 but there's no explanation for it. In my opinion, it has become more complicated to add the repository now.

# before:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stvs/tomate
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y tomate

# now:
RELEASE=`sed -n 's/VERSION_ID="\(.*\)"/\1/p' /etc/os-release`
sudo wget -O- http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/eliostvs:/tomate/xUbuntu_$RELEASE/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo bash -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/eliostvs:/tomate/xUbuntu_$RELEASE/ ./' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tomate.list"
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install tomate-gtk

• The link on https://launchpad.net/tomate ("The project has moved to ...") points to your user home on Github but not to the Tomate project. It should point to https://github.com/eliostvs/tomate (or better: README.md) instead.
• The app has been split up into lots of mini packages. That really makes no sense for me.
  Think about it - is this really useful for anyone?
  • Who will install Tomate without installing most of the plugins anyway?
  • How much disk space does it occupy? (it's almost nothing!)
• When you follow the tutorial (see above) it is not suggested to install any of the plugins (Suggests in the package info). I first installed it until I noticed that much of the functionality needs to be installed separately.
• All of the plugins are disabled by default and need to be enabled manually.
• As mentioned on many other places, this should be put together in a nice document...

I really suggest to merge the subpackages again into a single one.

• Last but not least, a wish: The alarm tone is quite annoying. It would be nice if the old tone (just a short beep) would be available again.
