New project idea - kde package manager for Mobile

[Daniel Nascimento]

Hi Laslo,

I think that is not a good idea not to use PackageKit since it is part
of Meego Architeture [1]. So if you don't use it you won't have any
guarantee that your software will work on any Meego compliant OS.

KDE already has a PackageKit and its actively developed [2]. I think
you can try to contact the main KPackageKit developer and propose him
to join the development and start to create a better interface for
mobile devices.
