The main interface looks by no means innovative. However, these screenshots may set the wheels of the mind to turning: *I don't like the way they appears to be going about this. However, the fact they call what would be our Superdeb a "Service pack" is interesting to me: *http://www.packagekit.org/img/thumbnails/gpk-service-pack.png *These got me thinking about the fact that we should warn users what deps will be downloaded, what packages will be automatically installed, etc.*: http://www.packagekit.org/img/thumbnails/gpk-added-deps.png http://www.packagekit.org/img/gpk-remove-confirm.png *Post-install window asking if you want to run installed programs. Maybe a nuisance, maybe an idea to be stole:* http://www.packagekit.org/img/thumbnails/gpk-run-application.png *Their version of Software Sources. A good idea?*: http://www.packagekit.org/img/gpk-repo.png http://www.packagekit.org/img/thumbnails/gpk-repo-more.png
Also: They have an "Update Manager," which I hope will be integrated as a category in our interface. Hope that proves useful.
