Having a software centre in gnome is a useful feature for a personal desktop but I would recommend against integrating the gnome-software package as a hard dependency in the future or any userspace package management as this would collide with managed installations. Just recommending it is the more elegant solution if it fulfills both sides wishes. Normal installations will never know the difference if I understand the installation process correctly. A problem with putting in individual polkit rules is the possibility of future changes, checking the polkit rules would therefore be a necessary task on every upgrade and checking the install environment for quirks with the new release is already a lot of work. Being able to make an installation without packagekit as a solution is easier from an administrative standpoint IMHO. BTW: pattern sw_management_gnome just Recommends "gnome-packagekit". I can only talk for my setup but it seems to be a common wish/solution to be able to uninstall packagekit, if I look at the results in google (at least here, your results might differ, google is after all location sensitive). Unfortunately the reasons are seldomly stated in greater detail. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
