Hi! Okay, well... Most of that stuff can be implemented trivially. If you check http://www.packagekit.org/pk-matrix.html , you can also see that aptcc supports EnableRepo() and apt/aptcc don't support InstallSignature() (probably for Apt the matrix was not updated there). Regarding InstallSignature() there were some issues if I remember that correctly, need to talk to Richard (PK maintainer) about that again. Why does the Apt backend need plugins? What are plugins for? PK provides an extremely powerful plugin-api itself nowadays, developed with stuff like the Listaller 3rd-party appinstaller in mind, so you can do pretty much anything with it, in a distro-agnostic way. It's weird that these are the reasons for using aptd, I expected some other points ^^ FYA, I'm also PackageKit upstream developer, Listaller[1] maintainer and participant in the AppStream[2] effort, right now doing a GSoC on the Software-Center[3], AppStream and PackageKit to make it run on every distribution out there, using PackageKit. We make some adjustments on the new PackageKit 0.8.x series there. So, if there's anything special which you need at Ubuntu, there's a perfect time now to ask or it :-) As part of my project, I can implement some other stuff too or at least bring it in discussion, if that helps PackageKit integration. You can also write me a mail or catch me on #PackageKit (Freenode, ximion), so this bug report doesn't get cluttered. Kind regards, Matthias
