[Bug 1022407] Re: Update to 0.8.x

[Matthias Klumpp]

FYI: Debian Unstable is now running with PK 0.8.x :-)
(I expect the transition to be very smooth an complete quickly)
To get PK 0.8.x working, the packages packagekit, packagekit-qt, gnome-packagekit, listaller and apper need to be synced, possible reverse-dependencies at Ubuntu should be fine with a rebuild, unless they use more advanced features of PK (in that case, patches are trivial)
Everything which uses the session-interface exposed by gnome-packagekit-session does not need to be rebuilt, the interface hasn't changed.
Cheers,
    Matthias

Title:
  Update to 0.8.x

Status in “packagekit” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Update to version 0.8.1.  We need to investigate if this should be
  done in Quantal, the notes in NEWS are:

  Notes:
   - We've broken a lot of API in this release. A LOT. If you're using the
     systemd D-Bus interface of PackageKit, then it's likely you'll have
     to spend a few minutes converting to the new interfaces.
     If you use the packagekit-glib or packagekit-qt bindings they'll
     be the odd change too, but nothing quite as drastic.
   - Both the client libraries broke ABI, so there's a soname bump.
   - Needless to say, it's probably not a good idea to push all this new
     and broken code into your super-stable paid-for-support distro.
   - If anyone has questions about porting, grab one of us developers on
     the PackageKit mailing list.
