Aptdaemon Description

Apt daemon Aptdaemon is a tool that allows normal users to perform package management tasks, e.g. refreshing the cache, upgrading the system, installing or removing software packages.Aptdaemon was inspired by PackageKit which doesn't allow a tight integration into Debian/Ubuntu by policy: Running transaction are not allowed to be paused. This makes the use of debconf or resolving config file conflicts impossible. Here are some key features of "Aptdaemon": · Programming language independent D-Bus interface, which allows to write clients in several languages · Transaction based design which allows to queue actions · The daemon runs only if required (D-Bus activation) · Fine grained privilege management using PolicyKit, e.g. allowing all desktop user to query for updates without entering a password · Support for media changes during installation from DVD/CDROM · Support for debconf (Debian's package configuration system) · Support for attaching a terminal to the underlying dpkg call · Command line client aptdcon · Python GTK widgets to monitor and control a running transaction Requirements: · Python
