Is the "gnome-packagekit is obsoleted" image caption erroneous? edit

It's still refered to in some Fedora docs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Software_Management_Guide/Las_interfases_GUI_de_gnome-packagekit.html --65.60.128.64 (talk) 18:33, 1 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Pacman?! edit

Pacman is not the backend for packages in Arch Linux. All bindings for PackageKit are linked to the Arch Linux Package Manager (alpm), of which Pacman is just a frontend.

Since version 3.0.0, pacman has been the front-end to libalpm(3), the “Arch Linux Package Management” library. This library allows alternative front-ends to be written (for instance, a GUI front-end).
