RFS: packagekit
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "packagekit".
* Package name : packagekit
Version : 0.6.7-1
Upstream Author : Richard Hughes <richard@hughsie.com>
* URL : http://packagekit.org
* License : GPLv2/LGPLv2
Section : admin
It builds these binary packages:
gstreamer0.10-packagekit - GStreamer plugin to install codecs using
PackageKit
libpackagekit-glib2-14 - Library for accessing PackageKit using GLib
libpackagekit-glib2-dev - Library for accessing PackageKit using GLib
(development files)
libpackagekit-qt-dev - Library for accessing PackageKit using Qt4
(development files)
libpackagekit-qt14 - Library for accessing PackageKit using Qt4
browser-plugin-packagekit - Plugin to install missing plugins using
PackageKit
packagekit - Provides a package management service
packagekit-backend-apt - Python APT backend for PackageKit
packagekit-backend-aptcc - C++ APT backend for PackageKit
packagekit-backend-smart - Smart backend for PackageKit
packagekit-bash-completion - Offer to install missing programs
automatically
packagekit-docs - Documentation for PackageKit
packagekit-gtk-module - Install fonts automatically using PackageKit
python-packagekit - PackageKit Python bindings
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 468132
My motivation for maintaining this package is: I follow the project since
version 0.1.5 and develop some own software on to of the
PackageKit library. I use PackageKit daily and I'm in contact with
upstream.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/packagekit
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/packagekit/packagekit_0.6.7-1.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Note on PackageKit:
PackageKit has Debconf support now (the APTcc backend has it) and supports
some other functions requested for Debian, like solving the problem if a
package installation requires a package removal etc. Nearly all problems
some Debian devs named are fixed and PK ist ready for the repos. Kubuntu
aleady uses it with great success.
Kind regards
Matthias Klumpp
