Death by 1000 Needless Clicks
I’m installing the recently released 3rd edition port of Apache for S60 on my E61 and I’m struck by how cumbersome and useless this signing process is. The actual web server install seems to be a few executables packed into one SIS, 5 or 6 of them, I lost count. Looks like 8 according to the app manager install log. Wow! So for each one I have to not only confirm that I want to install it, what the version is … for some reason, that’s it’s “dangerous” and I know that, and a list of things each app wants to do to my phone. It was something like 4 clicks per part installed, times the 8 things. Insane. Fortunately I was waiting for another download, so I didn’t wander away before I got too bored. It was a close call though. So someone remind me again, how did that just make my phone more secure?
