I'm not sure this makes much sense -- it's already available in Applications -> System Tools. It's not designed to be the central frontend at all, just another tool. (In reply to comment #1) > I'm not sure this makes much sense -- it's already available in Applications -> > System Tools. The same goes for gkp-repo, which is available in gkp-application's menu, too. And IMHO gpk-log is as important as gpk-repo, if not even more important: Currently it's the only way to completely remove a package with all it's dependencies. It would be nice if PackageKit would suggest to uninstall them automatically, but this is worth another RFE and I guess, it's already on your todo list. gpk-repo is designed for the user to see what they installed "last week", or "yesterday" -- I'm not sure it makes sense to show in the tool that installed the software. I'm open for ideas. Matthias? (In reply to comment #3) > gpk-repo is designed for the user to see what they installed "last week", or > "yesterday" You mean gpk-log, right? > I'm not sure it makes sense to show in the tool that installed > the software. As long as gpk-application does not remove packages that were installed as deps it does. commit 9acdb6820cd01e73fc863a58c384446c62b99a85

Created attachment 339075 [details] Add menu entry for gpk-log to the menu in gpk-application Description of problem: gpk-application should be the central frontend to all package management related tasks, which also includes the log viewer gpk-log. ATM only gpk-repo is available in the menu. This patch adds a menu entry for the log viewer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-packagekit-2.27.1, but the patch also works with 0.3.14 Additional info: The icon does not show up, no idea why as logviewer.png is provided by several icon sets. Maybe the gkp-log icon should be used for consistency (same for gpk-repo which uses cdrom icon), but this would require changes to the icons included in gnome-packagekit.
