Description

System to facilitate installing and updating packages

Long description

PackageKit is a system designed to make installing and updating software
on your computer easier. The primary design goal is to unify all the
software graphical tools used in different distributions, and use some of
the latest technology like PolicyKit. The actual nuts-and-bolts distro
tool (dnf, apt, etc) is used by PackageKit using compiled and scripted
helpers. PackageKit isn't meant to replace these tools, instead providing
a common set of abstractions that can be used by standard GUI and text
mode package managers.
