Hi all,
As you may be aware, we're currently looking at switching from Ubuntu
Software Center to GNOME Software for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS [1].
If you're interested in playing around / helping out:
- I've set up a ppa:ubuntu-desktop/gnome-software [2] for which
currently holds PackageKit 1.0 and GNOME Software with some patches to
support the Ubuntu review server. Installing this will boot out
software-center / aptdaemon.
- We're blocked from pushing this directly to the Xenial archive [3] -
but we hope to have some progress on that soon.
- The GNOME software work is being done upstream in GNOME git. It
should be upstreamable.
- Please file bugs against the gnome-software package [4]
- I'm still working on the Ubuntu One support for posting reviews -
ideally this would use libaccounts but that doesn't seem to be working
in desktop Ubuntu anymore. Any help here would be appreciated. Plan B
is to put the account signup UI in GNOME Software (not too hard, but
would be nicer to use the proper services).
- I've tagged some bugs on things that need working on [5].
- The appstream data is being worked on - I'll let Iain Lane update
about that.
Have fun!
