Ability to "Opt out" of upgrades. #8

Open flexiondotorg opened 8 years ago

Originally reported by: Luke Horwell (Bitbucket: lah7, GitHub: lah7)

At the moment, once a user upgrades, the user cannot change their mind.

For instance, if a new version of LibreOffice caused problems [for the user's needs] and wishes to opt back to Ubuntu's repositories version, they can't do so via Welcome.

I propose we add an implementation to "undo" the changes (delete source file, roll back package version) if the user wishes to do so.

This could be done using ppa-purge (installed only on the first downgrade select). Is there any other way to remove the packages from a ppa properly?
