[packagekit] PackageKit App-Install

[Daniel Nicoletti]

Hi,
In this last UDS we discussed about these stuff
and what we are going to do is to support App-Install
and change KPackageKit to be a little like sw-center,
right now I'm trying to fix some bugs in KPackageKit
and integrate debconf support which is more important
atm, if you are willing to help I'd appreciate.

My nick is dantti on irc,
best

> Hello!
I'm following the PackageKit project since the first drafts (2008, I

and believe it is one of the most important projects for the Linux

at time. I recently ported my universal application manager and

installer completely to PackageKit. One of my last projects was the

to write a replacement for the Ubuntu Software Center for KDE, based

PackageKit. (I'm completely new to Qt4 programming with C++, but I got

most important parts working) Last week I found Richard's

"AppInstall" at Github [1]. Someone mentioned it in the IRC channel

talking about the UDS-M.
This project looks very promising - and it 
> makes the Software Center
replacement obsolete if it was integrated into

a few features of my universal application 
> installer. Now I wanted to ask:
How's the current state of the project? Will 
> it be integrated into
PackageKit or moved into a separate module? And is 
> there a way to help
developing this project? I would be really interested in

not really the greatest C developer. (Only used it on 
> Windows a few
times...)
If theres something I could do... Another 
> question: Will AppInstall be able
to load the existing data of Debian 
> app-install? (I think not, because
Debian uses a Xapian database and the 
> specs suggest a SQLite db.)
Thanks for your reply!
Kind regards

P.S: I hope the PackageKit list is the right one for

AppInstall :-P
