If you could do that then pk-import-desktop could take those desktop files and compress them into the PkExtra sqlite database that Pk "refines" the client side results with. > You want to put every single .desktop file in each PackageKit release? No, just an updated sqlite database, and in a separate tiny optional package, something like hal-info. > What about new releases that change the .desktop file, what about new > pkgs to the repo, what about new translations?

Well yes and no. gnome-app-install (ubuntu) does actually ship all the actual desktop files (not a small db cache), and each one is munged to add additional data, like what package it came from.
