Hi,

Forwarding the above message to get your opinion on such a feqture.
Would asking PackageKit for introspection data of a lib worth investigating?
Somehow the way it is done for gstreamer elements and fonts.

Would the generic 'InstallResources' be useful here or would the
introduction of an 'InstallIntrospectionResources' method needed ?

Thanks for your work,
amazari
