[Daniel Nicoletti]

Name: KPackageKit
Version: 0.3.1
Type: KDE System Tool
Depend: KDE 4.x
License: GPL
Homepage: http://www.packagekit.org

Description:
 KPackageKit is the KDE interface for PackageKit.

I've saw people saying that KPackageKit is the
substitute for yum, as Synaptics is for apt...
PLEASE DON'T say any of those things, please first
have a good look at www.packagekit.org website :D

It's intended to be ONLY a PackageKit interface,
this means if there is some cool feature like
improving the performance of a yum database it is
PackageKit related and distro specific stuff that
should be discussed there.

If you use Fedora >9 it's the default package
manager (from the UI point of view).
So now you can use PackageKit from a KDE app :D

This is the first update to 0.1 release, We
changed the minor version to 0.3 so we can follow
packagekit versions, as KPackageKit 0.3 is not
compatible with PackageKit 0.1. the x.x.1 is the
new stuff

We hope you enjoy KPackageKit, and please report
bugs, make wished gives us feedback so we can
improve this application.

It features:
 - Search (Get details, files, depends, required
by)
 - Install
 - Install Files (new!)
 - Remove
 - Check for Updates
 - Install Updates
 - Automatically refreshes your cache
 - Automatically install updates
 - Popup to show the available updates
 - It's possible to enable the Origin of packages.
 - Icon tray to show all the running transactions

We appreciate bug, reports, patches and
translations.
--------------------

IMPORTANT:
KPackageKit itself can do nothing without
PackageKit and libpackagekit-qt, this last one is
being developed together with the ui.

I'm the main developer of KPackageKit ui and
Adrien Bustany is the main developer of
libpackagekit-qt (or QPackageKit).
Sometimes he helps me with the ui and sometimes i
help him with the lib...

INSTALATION

Well now that you decide to install it. Be careful
:D no warranty is given..

Requirements:

- The package provided here does NOT contain
- libpackagekit-qt - here you will find the
lastest version of the lib (soon it'll be also
available in the main packagekit site)
http://maison.mymadcat.com/~madcat/qpackagekit/

PackageKit itself, so please first make it work on
YOUR distro.
Qt >4.4 (Won't compile with older versions)
KdeLibs of Kde4

Policykit-Gnome there is a Kde one but i don't
know it's status.

Compiling:
To compile it is very easy but you MUST
follow this steps:
- extract the tar.bz2 (of course)
--- libpackagekit-qt
- $ cd QPackageKit2 # here is the libpackagekit-qt
- $ cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/
- $ make
- $ su
- # make install
- # exit
- $ cd ..
