Description:
 KPackageKit is the KDE interface for PackageKit.

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.

Well if you don't already know PackageKit take a
look at our website. 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 release, after 6~7 months of
working we bring you a very stable and nice
application. We had four beta versions, and to the
last one the library was completely rewritten to
have a better design and to fix the remaining
bugs.
The user interface (KPackageKit) also fixed lots
of bugs, and now is able to do almost every thing
gnome packagekit can. The small part left will be
soon available through a 0.2 release.
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
 - Remove
 - Check for Updates
 - Install Updates (new!)
 - Automatically refreshes your cache
 - Automatically install updates (new!)
 - Popup to show the available updates
 - It's possible to enable the Origin of packages.
 - Icon tray to show all the running transactions
(new!)

There are still some known bugs, the main one is
the update ui that needs to be resized for the
function that resize the columns to work. (hard
bug to die)

--------------------

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...
