<pre wrap="">Hello everyone!
I am having some issues with packagekit. I downloaded the 0.5.4 version
and compiled it (btw it told me i needed cppunit and there was no
mention of it on the dependencies in the web site, but that is not the
problem). I only set the prefix in the ./configure to /usr and nothing
else.

<pre wrap="">You should pass --enable-portage to the configure script to include the
backend.

<pre wrap="">Maybe because the backend was not compiled in?
I'm not a PackageKit developer, but I use PackageKit as backend for a
cross-distro software manager.
You can look at the PackageKit source code if you get strange errors. I
always found the reason for weird behaviors of PackageKit.

<pre wrap="">I would like to add that we (the Nova crew) are planning our next
version (for late 2010) to use rpm and packagekit for the package
management system. These issues I describe above are related to the
study we are currently developing in that order.

<pre wrap="">Great! Please note that PackageKit 0.5.4 is neither API nor ABI stable at
time.
