It will also be interesting to see whether there are remaining bugs in aptcc that should be fixed. In general, aptcc is much slower than it needs to be, mainly due to its really ineffective cache handling (reopening it again and again for most transactions) and old code that was copied from various places (apt-get, Synaptic, even aptitude).
I wanted to fix the caching issue at some point, but that would as of now amount to massive refactoring - we even discussed briefly with KDE Neon people the possibility to do a clean rewrite of PKs APT backend (quite some effort), which might be a possibility in the future. In any case, there are currently no known major bugs in aptcc, except for its slowness and inability to parallelize read transactions (the latter was due to APTs limitations in the past, and the APT guys say it might be possible now - unfortunately, aptcc itself isn't ready for that, due to having been developed non-threadsafe for a long time :P) In any case, on topic: Thanks Robert for working on updating GS! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1636945 Title: Update gnome-software to 3.22 Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: I believe we want to do this update for Ubuntu 17.04. The new version adds a Flatpak plugin. In the Debian packaging, I split that out into a separate binary package in case Flatpak being in main isn't wanted at this time. I believe we'd be dropping the aptdaemon plugin to use the PackageKit support instead. Some parts of switching to PackageKit improve things (like fixing bug 1551599 and bug 1575426 ). In other ways, it's a bit of a regression. (Sorry, I don't remember examples right now). Debian (GNOME) will be using gnome-software 3.22 by default for stretch so improvements to the PackageKit support will benefit both distros.
