Packagekit 0.4.6

marzo 31, 2009

Today Richard release a new Packagekit version with it Conary backend comes with new features/fixes:

  • Many foresight users report what not found gcc/make on packagekit :P well im fix it we have support for conary.rpath.com repo.
  • Now the packagekit can get the url and licensense metadata set on troves. And show repository owned.
  • I have a lot of problems with high memory usage, so im fix with next point.
  • Conary backend its stupidly more faster because replace the xml.minidom module by cElementTree, now we can list more than 2357 packages on repo ( getting from fl:2-qa conary.rpath.com@rpl:2-qa and fl:2-kernel the fl:2-devel have more packages ) in few seconds.
  • Add get-packages what list all packages installed/availables.

If you want test:

sudo conary update {PackageKit,gnome-packagekit}=foresight.rpath.org@fl:2-devel

With packagekit update gnome-packagekit comes with bugs:

first:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module": libpk-gtk-module.so:

That its because packagekit have a plugin what can install fonts from requesting of pango/cairo http://cgit.freedesktop.org/packagekit/tree/contrib/gtk-module/README. Im not found what causing the problem. i think when mooking the pago or cairo, packagekit have the pk-gtk-module enable so the pango/cairo get that module an save or something else happen. So when open a gtk applicacion ask for that module.

I can't enable because need the WhatProvides action enable on packagekit and not supported right now ....

update: the fix its here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/packagekit/2009-April/004635.html

second: Other stuff gnome-packagekit comes with a new update viewer (gpk-update-viewer2) that a new Feature of gnome-packagekit. Sorry dudes another unsupported because a DistroUpdateDetails not implement too :(

update: fixing rightnow its a gnome-packagekit bug http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/packagekit/2009-April/004636.html

third: We have a bug with swedish users http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/packagekit/2009-March/004625.html we wait for fixing it.
