Subject: [Tails-dev] installing a package with double click
hello:

as now we are having so many possibilities with the new Additional Software feature coming, with some friends we are working on some apps that can be used in Tails.

We have a nice .deb package for newbie users to be able to install a small catalogue of tools, but we dont fin a way to bootstrap it nicely.

Would it be possible to install, for example, gdebi, so users can

- - double-click on a .deb file on Nautilus
- - get asked the admin password
- - install the debian package

it is quite straighforward once you have installed it.

or maybe there is a way to add a MIME type for Nautilus that will trigger some fancy thing?

gdebi is 169 kB when installed.
