Hi peeps, I already wrote in april 2013 (<a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/packagekit/2013-April/026054.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/packagekit/2013-April/026054.html</a>) that I want to have PackageKit working on Slackware. I wanted to update slapt-get backend at that time. But we decided in our team (dropline gnome) to write a new backend. The main reason was: using of native slackware package management instead of slapt-get. And now I think I can announce this backend. It has been already tested a bit because we used it (patched PK) in the project, though I've rewritten a lot since that time because I've made some wrong decisions at the beginning.. But main functionality is implemented and the backend is working with the latest PackageKit. It is a C-backend, its codename is "Katja". The code can be get from svn: <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/dropline-gnome/code/HEAD/tree/packagekit/pkgtools/">https://sourceforge.net/p/dropline-gnome/code/HEAD/tree/packagekit/pkgtools/</a> The patch I use to add it to the PK: <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/dropline-gnome/code/HEAD/tree/packagekit/pkgtools.patch">https://sourceforge.net/p/dropline-gnome/code/HEAD/tree/packagekit/pkgtools.patch</a> I'm planning to continue the work on it, will commit updates, add missing functionality in the next time. So I hope I will be able to contribute to the PK developement. Best regards Eugene Wissner
