Hi, folks. For QA purposes, I wanted to get some clarification on the
current status of package management and updating on KDE.
It seems that recently dnfdragora-gui was added to the KDE spin. This
has at least one, obvious, unfortunate consequence: when booting KDE
live, there's a completely out-of-place (because it's in full color,
while every other KDE systray icon is in black-and-white) permanent
'notification' icon for 'dnfdragora-updater', which doesn't seem to
be
of any use in a live environment.
Beyond this: what's the actual intended shape of package management and
updates on KDE now? Is dnfdragora supposed to be responsible for all of
it, or is...some other thing...supposed to handle updating, and
dnfdragora is only supposed to be there for installing / removing?
As a reminder, this release criterion is in effect at Beta:
"The installed system must be able to download and install updates with
the default graphical package manager in all release-blocking
desktops."
and this one at Final:
"Release-blocking desktops must notify the user of available updates,
but must not do so when running as a live image."
So it'd be good to have the story here clear and be sure the criteria
are met ASAP.
Thanks!
