Just wondering if anyone has seen the work GNOME has been doing on the
new version of GNOME Software? It has the same name as the packagekit
GUI that is currently in Fedora, so i assume that it is going to replace
it, but with more of a focus on Applications rather than Packages.
There is already a working version of it that can be easily built from
source on Fedora 18:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/
And it seems to be based off the designs that are mocked up here:
https://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Software
I recently just built it from source, and in its current state, it lists
the applications I have installed, and Applications that need updating.
(I assume that it is defining "Application" as a package with a desktop
file) Also, in the "updates" section, it lists an item "OS Update
version 3.4.3" that seems to bundle all of the other (non-application)
package updates together. It does not yet have individual overview pages
for each application like the mockups.
Does anyone here have any more thoughts on this new tool, and how this
approach might interact with the way we package and distribute software
in Fedora?
cheers,
ryanlerch
