Bug#705692: transition: packagekit

[Matthias Klumpp <matthias@tenstral.net>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

I would like to request a transition to PackageKit 0.8.x
The original source package of PackageKit contained two libraries,
libpackagekit-glib2 and libpackagekit-qt2, with the new 0.8.x release, the Qt
version was split out to a separate source package.
Reverse dependencies of libpackagekit-glib2:
  gnome-settings-daemon
  listaller-devtools
  listaller
  liblistaller-glib0
  indicator-session
  gnome-settings-daemon
  gnome-packagekit-tools
  gnome-packagekit-session
  gnome-packagekit
(listaller, gnome-settings-daemon, gnome-packagekit, indicator-session)

Reverse dependencies of libpackagekit-qt2-2:
 apper

All dependencies have already been prepared in Experimental. (only about
indicator-session I am not sure...)
GNOME stuff >= 3.6 just needs a simple rebuild to work with the new PK. All
other packages are adjusted to work with the new version in their recent
versions in Experimental. Indicator-session might also only need a binNMU.

The new PackageKit also changed it's DBus API, so software which accesses the
DBus API without one of the PK libraries might break temporarily during the
transition.
Kind regards,
