planet.gnome.org had some posts about packagekit recently and various backends are in the work atm, such as yum, apt and conary. since i don't have the skills to write a backend for pacman, i'd like to know if anyone has started or plans on writing a pacman backend.

Hm. I'd never heard of this before, but you know what, it sounds interesting. I'm now personally contemplating writing a backend for this.

That's cool. A gnome based package manager is a brilliant idea.
Cerebral, if you do make a pacman backend for this, I'm willing to give it a shot.

Less of a gnome-based package manager, and more of a front-end that supports many, many package managers. I think that's cool - an approach to unify the crazy diversity in this area is a great step.

that's cool men! plz make a patch for packagekit!

I've been looking over the packagekit code and contemplating implementation over the last few days, and I'm willing to give it a shot. This will help me learn the alpm interface too, so whee.
I'll keep the forums informed about any real progress I make.

Just curious if you've started working on this at all. I was quite interested in this.

I haven't done much - things have been busy. All I've really done is taken the config-file parsing code from pacman and modified it so it would work from within PackageKit, but that's it. I meant to do lots last week, but something came up, and this weekend I got sideswiped with a surprise birthday party and I think my wife has plans for me today, so I doubt much will get done with PackageKit today.
I'm still interested in doing this; just not finding the time to get it done.

Oh I didn't know you were about to write a backend so I started yesterday.
I didn't get far however.
I just saw this thread after I started a new thread about it

All the power to you then - I really haven't gotten far at all. If you are making real progress then that's awesome.

Hi,
I'd like to help out with some code. Is there a place for collaboration yet?
Offline
That's cool!
There's no such place yet. I'll commit the code to packagekit's git soon.
The maintainer said he'd like to see it there despite it's not ready at all.
At the moment backend_initalize, backend_destroy and backend_search_name are implemented.
You can ask him for a git account if you want to start coding.

Guys, here is my packagekit repo: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 86#p280186

Well this sounds interesting.

PackageKit 0.2.0 has been released today - everyone is welcome to test.

is that a libalpm or pacman using backend then?
a nail that sticks out, is hammered down.
aha.

Hello,
I'm new to ArchLinux and I find this idea great, also let me present me :
I'm a french IT student and I've some projects to validate and the end of my studies. These projects may be personnal or with any enterprise or community.
If you agree, I could contribute to that kind of application. I don't really know how does packagekit works, but if someone does, we could work together. I know well C(++) and common tools ([auto]make, cmake, etc.), particularly Qt and KDE frameworks (KPackagekit ?).
Thus I could present this work as a project supervised by someone from the Arch community.
If my keyboard may help you, leave me a PM

salut manu et bienvenue a toi.
just a few advices as you are new here. please do not resurrect dead threads [ please see http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/For … Bumping.27 ], create a new one instead, I'm sure you'll find some archers interested in your project.
