PackageKit was made to be cross-platform for distributions with minimum reliance on specific distribution command, Losing PackageKit would lead to yet another step back with multiple commands difficult to remember thus another fragmentation. The database has been synchronized since Fedora 24. However, the caches are not, and that *does* need to be fixed. The library interface for DNF already has APIs for this, PackageKit doesn't use them. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
