There's a staging deployment at . Work is
underway to get it put into a production location and have the Ubuntu
mirrors fetch and serve the data so that apt can do the following
automatically.

In the meantime you can run
 (as
root, read it first) to manually put it in the right place. After that
you'd expect gnome-software to list available applications, but it
doesn't for me at least. So there is still some more work to be done
here, probably on the PackageKit side.

Cheers,

Wrong URL, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1470655 is the correct one :)

Thanks for your work on this!

GNOME Software in 16.04 LTS

[Robert Ancell]

Hi all,

As you may be aware, we're currently looking at switching from Ubuntu
Software Center to GNOME Software for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS [1].

If you're interested in playing around / helping out:
- I've set up a ppa:ubuntu-desktop/gnome-software [2] for which currently
holds PackageKit 1.0 and GNOME Software with some patches to support the
Ubuntu review server. Installing this will boot out software-center /
aptdaemon.
- We're blocked from pushing this directly to the Xenial archive [3] - but
we hope to have some progress on that soon.
- The GNOME software work is being done upstream in GNOME git. It should be
upstreamable.
- Please file bugs against the gnome-software package [4]
- I'm still working on the Ubuntu One support for posting reviews - ideally
this would use libaccounts but that doesn't seem to be working in desktop
Ubuntu anymore. Any help here would be appreciated. Plan B is to put the
account signup UI in GNOME Software (not too hard, but would be nicer to
use the proper services).
- I've tagged some bugs on things that need working on [5].
- The appstream data is being worked on - I'll let Iain Lane update about
that.

Have fun!

Hi, thanks Robert.

This took out system-config-printer here in addition to what you 
expected (Xubuntu)
