I am really confused by this thread. Here is what my F14 laptop has: http://people.xiph.org/~greg/packagekit.png It can be configured to only show end-user graphical applications and to hide subpackages, via the filters dialog though this isn't the default (and I don't think it should be— unless a way of turning off the filters is made more discoverable). This thread was mentioned on IRC and I asked about it because I couldn't understand it. I wasn't able to get an explanation I found acceptable... One thing that was suggested is that a "software center" would only show graphical end user apps, and would hide libraries and sub-packages. But, as I point out, the software in Fedora can already do this. It was also suggested that a software center would "highlight or promote typical tools that an average person would need"— I'm skip the rant about Fedora's myopic definitions of an average person, and focus on typical: If there is a application which most average users will need— why isn't it in the default desktop install? Can someone help me understand whats being asked for here? I can only guess that I'm not the only person confused by this thread. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
