Thoughts on making the software center less distro specific?
Couldn't
the UI be grafted on top of the PK api?
app-install is completely distro-neutral. GNOME PackageKit and
KPackageKit get the same kind of data from app-install for each
distro. The reason we're not just modifying the Ubuntu Software center
is just because it's so tied into the Ubuntu infrastructure.
So far there is a generator for Ubuntu and Fedora. It's pretty trivial
to add more. The app-install README file has answers to other common
questions.
Thanks,
