I might learn python sometime.. or not.. i'm not sure about it all. Anyway if i start with something like this to get that mockup as a working app than i will ofcause edit one of the existing frontends (likely PackageKit). Perhaps anyone can code those mockups in python? ^_^ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
