Description: Provides a package management service
PackageKit allows performing simple software management tasks over a DBus
interface e.g. refreshing the cache, updating, installing and removing
software packages or searching for multimedia codecs and file handlers.
.
The work is done by backends which make use of the package manager shipped by
the corresponding distribution. PackageKit is not meant to replace
advanced tools like Synaptic.
.
Its main benefits are:
- Unified developer and user interface on many distributions
- Fine-grained permission control via PolicyKit
- On-demand installation of missing system components
