[packagekit] [GSoC 2009] PackageDB Client Fedora Feature

[Grady Laksmono]

Hi Rahul,
Yes, it was my original proposal to use Amber. I have had a chance to play
around with the code along time ago, but I haven't had the chance to
contribute because of my busy schedule. I'm hoping that this project could
help me get started to contribute on Fedora project.
