PackageKit Google Summer of Code Ideas:
- urpmi backend for Mandriva
- portage backend for Gentoo
- ports backend for FreeBSD
- Rewrite opyum or APTonCD to support libpackagekit and be distribution neutral
- Design a KDE front-end suitable for upstream inclusion
- Profiling for memory and speed with a security review of the packagekitd daemon
- Design of an end-to-end test harness for .rpm and .deb on temporary
repositories for complete self check
