I brought up Software Center[2] during the session, which is quite
outdated in Debian and has some Ubuntu specific changes for a few
releases that makes it inappropriate for Debian.
This afternoon I happened to run into Gary[3] and Michael[4], who are
developers working on Software Center. Fixing it doesn't seem completely
trivial, but both of them were enthusiastic about improving the situation.
Michael and Gary, are there any further steps that you can recommend on
getting things rolling? Should there perhaps be a wiki page for this?
I feel kind of guilty pushing this because I know you have lots of work
already, but I also think that this is a good opportunity for Canonical
to be a good upstream. If you need any help, I'll try to help out where
I can and round up some support.
Enjoy the rest of UDS!
