We will replace the existing gnome-packagekit frontends (gpk-update-viewer and gpk-application) by a new application.
Would there be any value in keeping those around for a cycle or so for folks that prefer package centric updates? Or better to just ask them to move to yum/yumex/apper now?
FWIW, everyone seems to hate gpk-application, so I doubt anyone would shed any tears over its loss. =) And if gpk-update-viewer has any committed fans, I ain't met 'em.
Other developers:
- Use gnome-software instead of gpk-update-viewer when dealing with
updates in gnome-settings-daemon, gnome-shell and gnome-control-center
I'm assuming this will be desktop/gnome centric? Or would it all just work in Xfce/LXDE/ratpoision sessions?
That's all GNOME-specific stuff, as I read it. None of this feature looks like it particularly applies to other desktops.
