The number of people working on similar stuff with similar tools is really, really small! :D I know Stephen from a bug report against PackageKit and you from the PackageKit ML :-) For Listaller, we need sync calls because PackageKit uses sync calls internally and Listaller is plugged into PackageKit to perform software-management tasks as root. So you'll find some unusual ways to call PackageKit for unusual tasks there. (but most conceps can be easily applied to other projects, I'm also thinking if a async API would make sense for frontend developers. (LI frontends are integrated into PK frontends and Software-Centers (usually only a few new lines of code are needed to support non-root installations if PK is already used) - for GNOME-PackageKit having async API would be good...) Having a "libappstore" is imho a very good idea, I also thought of writing that lib later (I am busy with PackageKit, AppStream and the Ubuntu Software Center at time) - Are you doing that lib cross-distributional? (Very important for me ^^) @list: Sorry for the OT Cheers, Matthias
