It was also really<br>good to work with PackageKit guys, so we could<br>fix our problems and sometimes yours,<br>(please don't tell anyone that i committed to <br>gnome packagekit :P ).<br><br>But seriously we think this will make a huge<br>difference in PackageKit world since now it will<br>surely have more coming users. What can make<br>a standard for package management on Linux variants.<br><br>I'll just give a brief explanation of KPackageKit<br>for those who don't know it yet.<br><br>KPackageKit uses QPackageKit2, which is in version 2.0<br>since we had a problem with DBus and Adrien
Bustany <br>(the lib creator and developer) decided to completely<br>rewrite it, so now (as for today) the lib don't have<br>any more known bugs :D<br><br>Also KPackageKit is divided in various sections:<br> - A KCM module to Add and Remove Soft<br> - A KCM module to manage updates<br> - A KCM module to change KPackageKit settings<br> - A KDED module to keep track of automatically updates<br> and calling the Smart-Icon<br> - A Smart Icon that shows the running transactions<br> - KPackageKit executable to also show the popups of notifications<br><br>Well a very good thing that KPackageKit has is the KDED module<br>that allow us to have a single module consuming 1~2 mb of Ram<br>and "not slowing" the startup of KDE. It keeps tracks of the<br>running transactions and if it detects one it calls<br>kpackagekit-smart-icon to show then.<br>This last one exits in 7 minutes after no more transactions<br>running so you
free memory and also KDE startup (since the default<br>behavior of KDE is to save the runnig application to the next log in).<br>And kpackagekit executable can loads all the Kcm modules to create a<br>ui like an application and also when called with --smart-update<br>does the proper thing to display/or install updates.<br>The KCM modules are the ones you can include on Kde's System Settings<br>which make it really userfriendly since most begginers users would<br>expect software management there.<br><br>Well Thanks to all how made this possible (quoting Richard)<br>And Please try it so we can have more feedback.<br>http://tinyurl.com/4hggzq<br><br>Cheers,<br>Daniel.<br><br></div></div><br>
