Software-center and gpk-application are really two pair of shoes. And software-center is currently not part of the default installation. Synaptic is not part of the default installation, too. But even Synaptic would have been a regression compared to software-center. > > Even > > editing repositories (the sources.list in Debian terms) will be at the > > same basic level as 5 years ago if software-properties goes away from > > the default install.

It needs a little bit more than just a just patch to gpk-application: software-properties configures the cron script of apt for cache update and updates downloading/installing and makes use of aptdaemon to refresh caches. But we should take this discussion to another list. _______________________________________________ Distributions mailing list Distributions@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/distributions
