To expand a bit: insofar as Software - the tool we're discussing here, and the tool to which the "require applications to ship appdata" requirement applies - replaces anything, it replaces gnome-packagekit. It is not replacing yum. The old gnome-packagekit was a 'graphical package installer', just like yumex and apper. The new gnome-software is (with a bit of a handwave) an 'application installer'. That's a difference, but it's not relevant to yum at all, and I doubt many people used gpk to install gcc. For those who really want a GUI package installer, the old gpk is still available in a not-installed-by-default package (though I assume Richard will eventually drop it), and yumex is always an option. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
