Iain raised two issues via email:
There's two things I'm already aware of.
- It came up last cycle that when PK is built, gnome-software claims
the PackageKit session interface on the bus. This is used for
example to install missing GStreamer codecs but it turned out to be
broken, so we disabled it. We should make sure to track that and get
it working. Not sure what will be needed - maybe some aptcc work.
- I talked to Richard about this and he isn't interested in supporting
it - probably fairly - but maybe we want to turn off updates in the
PackageKit plugin as long as we have update-manager. I'm not sure it
was the best idea for us to support upgrades in the apt plugin, but
PK inside gnome-software doesn't do UPDATABLE_LIVE (online) updates
at the minute. It would be work to enable those and I think we might
want to punt on this until we get agreement to get rid of
update-manager, presumably not in this cycle. That conversation was
what led Richard to work on release EOL support inside
gnome-software though, which was nice. :)
