Re: Update notification triggers online update tool

Hi Adam,

Thanks for drawing attention to this.  I personally often feel drowned
by Bugzilla, especially after ABRT's automated entries, and I wish we
had an ongoing manually maintained list of issues like this that are
high profile, hardware independent, etc.

Right.  As far as I know the current UI mockups center around what
gnome-software is attempting to implement.  Lots to do here obviously to
enable gnome-software; for example there's the bug that was discussed
here regarding the icon data last month (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488968 ).

But we probably don't need to block on that; something stupid like by
doing:

diff --git a/plugins/updates/gsd-updates-manager.c b/plugins/updates/gsd-updates-manager.c
index bb242ab..02a7d30 100644

         }
         if (g_strcmp0 (action, "show-update-viewer") == 0) {
-                ret = g_spawn_command_line_async (BINDIR "/gpk-update-viewer",
+                ret = g_spawn_command_line_async (BINDIR "/gnome-software",
                                                   &error);
                 if (!ret) {
                         g_warning ("Failure launching update viewer: %s",

and ensuring gnome-software puts everything in the "OS update" box (to
update offline) would get us to a saner place, from which further
iteration is possible.
