A pretty-useless debugging client for PackageKit I wrote in a few minutes:


Useful to PackageKit Hackers…

It basically allows you to see what the currently running backend can do, and what is left to implement. Some of the backends can't do all the actions, so this tool can show you what they should be able to do. It's not pretty, but it's for programmers, not end users.
