================================================= mdvpkg - the mandriva package management daemon

mdvpkg is a wrapper upon mandriva urpmi database to provide non-privileged users access to package maintenance tasks (upgrade, installing, searching). Its development was initiated to support the implementation of Mandriva Package Manager.

The following features are aimed:

• D-Bus interface allowing the creation of specialized clients (like an update applet, or end-users application managers)

• Unprivileged management tasks through PolicyKit

• Support for urpmi input (like dep choices from clients)

• A command line client

• Python QT/QML widgets to manage package tasks

It's inspired on ideas from PackageKit and aptdaemon.
