I've not turned on the smart backend as it's not been tested at all in Fedora. Could you please checkout the PackageKit source code and build it with smart support and then test all the GUI tools please? Thanks. I grabbed the source RPM and can see smart is an available backend in the source. When I went to ./configure, I got the following dependencies missing: No package 'glib-2.0' found No package 'gobject-2.0' found Current glib version is glib-1.2.10-29.fc9.i386 and yum whatprovides returns nothing for gobject or */gobject. How would you recommend resolving these dependencies, so I can test the smart backend? If you already have the build environment, would you mind attaching the compiled test rpm here? Here's the output of where ./configure breaks: checking for GLIB... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.14.0 gobject-2.0) were not met: No package 'glib-2.0' found No package 'gobject-2.0' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. [scott@localhost PackageKit-0.2.3]$ rpm -q glib glib-1.2.10-29.fc9.i386 Using PackageKit-0.2.3-6.fc9.src.rpm I think you need to join the mailing list, where there are other PackageKit developers available there to help you out. I don't have the time to test and maintain another backend in Fedora, but if you can show me that there is someone willing to do it then I will gladly turn on the backend. I'll close for now. |
