Hi,
Looking at the git log from PackageKit, it looks like Scott managed to fix the build of the zypp backend -- which was the reason we were stuck with an old PackageKit (0.5.1).
So we'll put the next release of PackageKit in Factory (0.6.1, due next week, I think). Note that this changes the API (at least deprecated API were removed) and therefore will possibly break tools using PackageKit that were not prepared for this. You can take a look at the NEWS file for more details: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/packagekit/tree/NEWS
As far as I know, there are two major consumers of PackageKit: gnome-packagekit (which should be fine) and the KDE update applet (no idea what the status is here).
Is it an option to not update PackageKit? Not really: the version we have is old, not really maintained, and my guess is that we'll soon have tools that will require the new stuff there.
Actually the one who breaks stuff should fix it... Or at least evaluate on what breaks before the update (in a test project). Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
