This may sound naive, but are the Software Center's binaries/APIs restricted so much to GTK that QT could not to leverage them? I'm thinking libpurple-ish thoughts, like how Adium leverages the Pidgin API without using it's GUI.<br> <br>Since DEB package managers must (must?) leverage apt/aptitude I'd understand if the answer was that all of the code-base is GUI, and the API wouldn't logically exit (and therefor there would be nothing to leverage?).<br> <br>-Tres<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jun 6, 2010 at 2:20 AM, Mackenzie Morgan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:macoafi@gmail.com">macoafi@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="im">On Sunday, June 06, 2010 2:03:18 am Patrick Dickey wrote:<br> > On 6/5/2010 6:00 AM, <a href="mailto:kubuntu-devel-request@lists.ubuntu.com">kubuntu-devel-request@lists.ubuntu.com</a> wrote:<br> > > Re: Kapti, an experimentation on package installation/removal<br> > ><br> > > UI (Tres Finocchiaro)<br> ><br> > I guess my take on the subject is why don't we try to incorporate the<br> > Ubuntu package manager into Kubuntu?
