KPackageKit is a frontend for PackageKit, designed for KDE users.
It's intended to be ONLY a PackageKit interface, this means if there is some cool feature like improving the performance of a yum database it is PackageKit related and distro specifc stuff that should be disccused there.
Well if you don't already know PackageKit take a look at our website. If you use Fedora >9 it's the default package manager (from the UI point of view).
So now you can use PackageKit from a KDE app :D
This is the first beta, not feature complete (comparing to gnome-packagekit), but search/install/remove operations are fully functional.
There are some known bugs, but we appreciate feedback, so if you find something crashing please report it. This is our main objective in releasing it now.
KPackageKit itself can do nothing without PackageKit and libpackagekit-qt, this last one is being developed together with the ui.
I'm the main developer of KPackageKit ui and Adrien Bustany is the main developer of libpackagekit-qt. Sometimes he helps me with the ui and sometimes i help him with the lib...
