PackageKit is a very young project still, and is improving under the Gnome umbrella. It actually isn't a bad interface either imo, my only complaint so far is it's impossible to install more than 1 package at a time. Very annoying, who really wants to use a separate tool frequently for ONE package? This should be handled like system-config-packages used to be, not in a large interface. I can't think of a single use case where using the current Add/Remove Software interface of PackageKit is beneficial or an improvement over previous attempts. I think Fedora should have stuck with Pirut while the PackageKit guys complete an interface for installing/removing multiple packages, but left PackageKit to replace Pup[let]. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
