"PackageKit allows applications to interact with the package manager without knowing exactly what it is (yum, apt, zypper etc.)"
What advantage has that in Kubuntu, since Kubuntu only uses apt/aptcc as a backend? "Boot time security updates" I've never experienced this so far. "Installing files automatically, e.g. openoffice-clipart" Adept does that too. "Installing new features, e.g. smart-card readers" Adept does that too. "Allowing unprivileged users to install software in a corporate build" Ok, Adept can't do that, but when modified a bit, Adept can use Policykit for this too. "Opening unknown file formats" As in what? "Removing dependencies for files" Adept does that too. "PackageKit itself is a system activated daemon called packagekitd" Not true. It runs on the background all the time on my Kubuntu 9.10 -- Doesn't support installations which require a removal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kpackagekit in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
