Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: fantonifa...@tiscali.it * Package name : aptkit Version : 1.0.0 (not yet released) Upstream Contact: Linux Mint Project <r...@linuxmint.com> * URL : https://github.com/linuxmint/aptkit * License : GPL-2+ Programming Lang: Python Description : Transaction based package management service
Aptkit allows to perform package management tasks in a background process controlled by DBus. It is the continuation of aptdaemon which is not actively maintained and only exists in Ubuntu. Aptdaemon was greatly inspired by PackageKit, which doesn't support essential features of apt by policy. I would like it to be included in Debian 13 but I'm afraid I don't have enough time to manage other packages properly so I'll try to open this one in the hope that someone else is interested. This will require the return of python-defer, if upstream will not replace its use. This is require as dep. of Captain: https://github.com/linuxmint/captain
