--- Comment #21 from Kevin Kofler <kevin.kof...@chello.at> --- Apper is not end of life upstream. Several distributions switched to solutions directly using their package management stack, e.g., Kubuntu has had Muon for ages, Fedora now has Dnfdragora. Mainly, this happens because of deficiencies in the distribution's PackageKit backend that are not getting fixed. And upstream has Discover which can kinda replace Apper, but it has a significantly different focus and a significantly different user interface. (Discover is packaged in most distributions shipping KDE Plasma these days.) But all this does not mean Apper is dead. That said, in Fedora, after having tried for years to get the current PackageKit Hawkey/hif/DNF backend to implement the features Apper requires (in particular, browsing comps groups) without success, we gave up on Apper and recommend Dnfdragora to all users instead. But this mess is not Apper's fault. It worked great with the old (unfortunately discontinued both upstream and downstream) PackageKit yum backend. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
