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.

Sadly, we don't really have the resources to make any kind of appreciable dent in bug triage :/

There's an implication on the feature page that there should be a
distinction drawn between updates of 'OS components' (which should be
offline) and 'application updates and installations' (which should still
be possible online), but there's no indication this has actually been
implemented, and in my testing, the update notification pops up and
calls gnome-packagekit even when the update package set contains the
kernel, or systemd, or anything like that.

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

-                ret = g_spawn_command_line_async (BINDIR "/gpk-update-viewer",

                                                    &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.

Right, it seems like something that could be improved in the short term quite appreciably by fairly simple hacks. Anything that doesn't result in the online update app showing up would help, really.
