Title:
Switch gnome-software to use PackageKit backend
To man
Regarding GStreamer:
Iain has made a patch for that: https://github.com/hughsie/PackageKit/pull/193
- looks good to me, and will definitely be in the next PK release / the Debian
packaging.
To the second point: Couldn't the PK plugin be extended to support live
updates by default if set as a com
Iain raised two issues via email:
There's two things I'm already aware of.
- It came up last cycle that when PK is built, gnome-software claims
the PackageKit session interface on the bus. This is used for
example to install missing GStreamer codecs but it turned out to be
broken, s
We can drop the dpkg plugin in gnome-software master once this is complete:

packagekit: Don't explicitly disable PackageKit interactivity
We need interactivity for debconf prompts to install when installing .debs.
This is not most packages (i.e. n
It was simply disabled in GNOME Software and Richard is fine with enabling it:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-software-list/2017-May/msg00011.html
I tested it and it works fine with this change.

Oh, with "essential" I mean RC-worthy or important-for-the-release. Long
term, we likely do want Debconf to work (I haven't had time to look into
it yet though, that's why I like that Robert apparently looks into it
now).

Bu
@jbicha: That was for Ubuntu's aptd GNOME Software backend, using Debconf with
PackageKit is a little different (shouldn't be too hard to add, and I am rather
confident that hughsie would even allow this feature upstream).
So, in Debian we'd need the PK version, as aptd is dead and removed from
Matthias, are you aware that Ubuntu recently enabled debconf for gnome-
software? (LP: #1679435)
If it's not too hard to get that working with PackageKit, should that be
pushed into Debian stretch now?

Richard hates stuff asking questions during installation ;-) - that's *the*
longest discussion we had, since PackageKit's inception:
```
What is Hughsie's law?
A joke that started on IRC late one night in '07. Put formally it is:
Authentication or license prompts can only be done before the tra
Turns out that gnome-software has explicitly disabled interactivity in
the packagekit plugins, this is why the debconf doesn't work:
pk_client_set_interactive (PK_CLIENT (priv->task), FALSE);
I'll ask upstream why this is...

@robert-ancell: Awesome! You can probably just copy the Debconf bits from GNOME
Software, tbh I am a bit surprised that this wasn't there before...
Might be worth fixing in Debian for the next release as well, or backporting at
least.

Currently working on getting debconf linked up then this should be good
to go.

Well, APT tells PackageKit about changes though, so it at least has information
about the update state of a package.
I am not 100% sure whether the update history will fully work though (it's

I confirm that work fine with totem.

That particular bug is staged in Git.
But I don't think PK in Ubuntu is in sync with Stretch, unless Launchpad is
lying to me:
