=== PackageKit backend for FreeBSD pkg Contact: Gleb Popov <[email protected]> PackageKit is a small D-Bus daemon program that serves as a backend for "application store" type of apps - most notably Plasma Discover and Gnome Software Center. The latest PackageKit release features a libpkg backend, which means that you can now use PackageKit-enabled programs on FreeBSD to manage software. Plasma Discover is already switched to using PackageKit, so you will get it working out of the box once you update your ports/packages. If you observe any crashes or bugs in PackageKit please let me know by link:https://github.com/PackageKit/PackageKit/issues[opening an issue upstream]. If you are interested in contributing, there is a lot of work to do too! Sponsor: Serenity Cybersecurity, LLC
