I hate the word “store” and this is not something that belongs to GNU world

It’s great! When we will be able to test it? I want it even, if it is unstable ;)

Thank you frank,

So the Ubuntu software centre will continue to be the ubuntu client-side app on Ubuntu, and may in fact be adopted as the Gnome client in opensuse, whereas Bretzn has a heavy KDE/QT focus so will become the client-side app for opensuse KDE, and potentially any other QT/KDE focussed distro’s out there such as MeeGo.

Is that the idea?

The idea is to have different clients for different desktops, formfactors and needs. At the moment The Ubuut Software Center and the new Bretzn client based on the MeeGo Client are the most advanced ones.
I think it is good to have different client as long as they use the same API :-)

Fantastic news, and thank you to all involved.

Quick question:

“The client in turn was created by using the MeeGo Garage client, and adapting it to be a more KDE-like application, by using the various KDE widgets and other tools,”

I got the impression from the cross-distro meeting that ubuntu software store was going to be the basis of the client……….?

Not a complaint, I am happy to have a KDE’ified app-store front-end, just trying to bring clarity to the murk.

Kind regards :D
