This is very exciting! There is one thing, though: we need a libdnf
plugin for PackageKit to use too. "DNF plugins" are at the Python
layer, and libdnf has its own plugin system that C/C++ consumers can
use. So if both a libdnf and a dnf plugin exist, then the experience
is consistent between PK and DNF.
But that leads to my other question: why not just integrate this into
libdnf and turn it into an option that can be activated in
/etc/dnf/dnf.conf? That seems to be the most straightforward way to do
this.
From the change proposal:
# Current implementation of <code>dnf-plugin-cow</code> is in Python,
but it looks possible to implement this in <code>libdnf</code> instead
which would make it work in <code>packagekit</code>
