What I read from this thread:
- people call everything PackageKit-related "apper" and thus nobody knows what piece of software they actually refer to.
Yes indeed.
- people do not want packagkit to block their use of zypper/yast, but are not willing to simply disable the blocking services, as one can do e.g. via KDE's systemsettings, in case one uses apper. Instead they want to have it removed from the distro. They are even willing to rename binaries etc. instead of simply disabling the service.
I can't. There is no icon to click and say no, just something that blocks yast. The icon hides till it finds updates. (gnome/xfce) Look, while I was writing right now I got the icon (12.1 xfce). The options are "update" and "about". No preferences. How do I disable it? By uninstalling it, obviously... no other way.
- people claim that one can screw-up one's system using apper, although it does not even allow to change the vendor, which zypper does (by asking the user).
Samples can be found in multiple forum threads.
- people think that normal users do the same mixing of zypper+packagkit- frontend as they do. Does packagekit block itself as well?
Dunno. Packagekit sometimes complains that it can not access resources when yast is running. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
