Description-en: Software Center for GNOME (common files)
Software lets you install and update applications and system extensions.
.
Software uses a plugin architecture to separate the frontend from the
technologies that are used underneath. Currently, a PackageKit plugin provides
data from a number of traditional packaging systems, such as rpm or apt. An
appdata plugin provides additional metadata from locally installed data in the
appdata format.
.
This package contains the architecture-independent files.
