PackageKit-yum-plugin tells PackageKit to check for updates when yum exits. This way, if you run 'yum update' and install all available updates, puplet will almost instantly update itself to reflect this. This includes apper. With PackageKit 1.0.1 the plugin feature seems to have been moved into the main body of code. dnf doesn't have this functionality. There is a thread about this from 11/10. -- If you can't laugh at yourself, others will gladly oblige. _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
