How can I help?

Anyone interested in PackageKit development is invited to join thechannel #PackageKit on freenode .We are a friendly bunch, and can answer questions on backends, GUI's oranything else PackageKit related.

There is also a subscription-only mailinglist where we discuss PackageKit development, patches and futuredevelopment.All commits are sent to this list as well, so we can audit any commitsfor bugs or security flaws.

You can file bugs, or track the status at bugs.freedesktop.org

If you want to write a backend, you can see the developer information , or you can checkoutthe source and see the docbook files in doc. Use the FAQ and mailing list for questions, and try to useexisting backends as a template for what you are trying to do.

If PackageKit cannot do what you need then please ask on the mailing list. It might already be on the TODO, or we might have to slightly tweak the API to make it possible.
