Yes, I agree that this is a valid request and should be looked into. It will need coordination with the Ubuntu desktop flavors that are not currently using Ubuntu's App Center. Also, this is the kind of work that is done in the development version of Ubuntu (currently Noble Numbat) and is unlikely to affect existing stable Ubuntu releases like 22.04 LTS. ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2019137 Title: gnome-software should (?) be separated from the packagekit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/2019137/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Also, I would like to emphasize that I am essentially just suggesting that make gnome-software more "modular". I'm not proposing to completely eliminate/cut out and not ship PackageKit as a basic package, if it's really needed somewhere. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2019137 Title: gnome-software should (?) be separated from the packagekit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/2019137/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 2019137] Re: gnome-software should (?) be separated from the packagekit
Matthias, I did not suggest to remove PackageKit support completely. I was suggesting to separate PackageKit and make it a separate plugin. This would make it possible to install GNOME Software exclusively with the flatpak plugin, for those times when you only need to install flatpak to the current Ubuntu installations which already include the Snap Store by default. At the moment when trying to add something related to flatpak, one more store (besides Snap Store) is installed which operates with deb packages. This makes no sense, since Snap Store already does this (and it does it, as I understand, wherever snap is installed). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2019137 Title: gnome-software should (?) be separated from the packagekit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/2019137/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 2019137] Re: gnome-software should (?) be separated from the packagekit
Not sure what you mean, but a GNOME Software with no PackageKit would mean that users are completely unable to install or remove any application from the Ubuntu archive, in addition to flavors not being able to use offline upgrades anymore. So this sounds like a suggestion with tons of huge drawbacks and annoyances to users, and no (?) advantage at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2019137 Title: gnome-software should (?) be separated from the packagekit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/2019137/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
