Hi,

I'm updating the Deployment Guide for Fedora 12, and for this 
project I've written a chapter on PackageKit. I would be interested 
in any comments or suggestions on the chapter, and especially with 
new material such as tips and tricks, which I would be glad to add. 
Further details on how functions in PackageKit relate to what Yum is 
doing behind-the-scenes would definitely be welcome.

The PackageKit chapter ties into the Yum chapter, naturally, though 
that one is not 100% complete yet. (For example, adding and 
configuring Yum repositories are completely absent at the moment.)

This is the second chapter of the Deployment Guide (following Yum), 
so the pace of the material is a bit slower than the rest.

The PackageKit chapter is here:

The Deployment Guide project page is here:

I'm not subscribed to this list, so please include me in any 
replies. I'm looking forward to any and all critiques!

Cheers,
