Package: software-properties
Version: software-properties-gtk
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hello,
PackageKit is now used by default in the GNOME desktop. Software-properties-gtk
proovides a way to configure the daily APT cron job. But the PackageKit already
has got an update mechanism and configuration options in the user interface. So
we end up with two separate configuration options that do not affect each
other.
Cheers,
Sebastian

Description: Hide the updates tab
The GNOME desktop now uses PackageKit to fetch and install updates.
Furthermore the GNOME and KDE PackageKit applications provide already
a configuration option for the PackageKit update mechansim.
But software-properties configures the daily APT cron job.
To avoid having two concurrent mechanisms this patch disables the updates
tab in the software-properties user interface.
