PackageKit lets applications query whether other packages are installed,
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
regardless of the GNU/Linux distribution in which they are running. If
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
your application needs an extra package to be installed at runtime, it can
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
ask PackageKit to download and install it. For example, a multimedia
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
application may need to download a codec, or an illustration program may
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
need to download fonts as needed.

Various GNOME applications use PackageKit in similar situations. Totem,
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
the media player, uses PackageKit to request installation of codecs when it
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
tries to play a media file that it does not recognize.
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
System-config-printer, a program to configure printers when they are
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
plugged in, uses PackageKit to download and install printer drivers as needed.
