KPackageKit

KPackageKit is the KDE interface for PackageKit.

Please first have a good look at www.packagekit.org website :D

More news on aptcc backend and KPackageKit (http://dantti.wordpress.com).

KPackageKit 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.

****************************************************
This version only works with packagekit-qt >= 0.5.5
****************************************************

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

BUGS goes to bugs.kde.org

It features everything Gnome PackageKit does except service pack which is a GUI tool and not a feature of PackageKit, if someone find it usefull and want to contribute please say so.

-----------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT:
KPackageKit itself can do nothing without PackageKit.
So have it installed before.
