Good, since I fear it's going to be blame. :D I have unfortunately pulled the update as Lukas posted a screenshot of GNOME Software getting out of sync with dnf.

As long as we're on the subject: I will try to address any issues that come up that can be addressed immediately.

[Test-Announce] Heads up: testing requested for significant PackageKit update
Hey folks! The desktop team kindly let us know that there's a fairly significant PackageKit update coming. It's been built for Rawhide today (so will be in tomorrow's compose) and is now in updates-testing for F37: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-6c1c40d160 what it does is re-enable a feature where the PackageKit daemon doesn't run forever as it does now, but shuts down after an inactivity timeout. This should save a decent amount of RAM, as the daemon tends often to consume 400M+ of the stuff. This feature has been turned on and off and on and off again a few times before because it was found to cause problems. This time, a few folks have done some diligent work trying to ensure all the previously- encountered problems were solved, but of course it's *possible* they missed something, or there are some other problems that folks weren't aware of. So it'd be great if as many folks as possible can install this update and check how it goes. In the past, problems have tended to arise when you mix operations between dnf and PackageKit-based apps like GNOME Software, so please pay attention to those kinds of cases - if you habitually do some stuff with dnf at the command line and some stuff in Software, keep an eye out for new problems or oddities. Also look out for incorrect or non-functional update notifications from GNOME, especially if you e.g. update via DNF but then get a notification from GNOME for the same updates. There's some more background reading here: https://github.com/PackageKit/PackageKit/pull/578 for folks who are interested. The update for F37 has karma auto-push disabled and time-based auto- push set to 21 days, so we have plenty of time to find any major problems with it - don't worry about it being rushed into stable before we're sure it's OK.
