El Ubuntu Software CenterWhile it is still too "heavy" and has a few tidbits that need to be polished, it is a step in the right direction. Not only because it will be one of the foundations of business model of Canonical to "sell" programs and make money but also because it gives you a professional, unique and modern touch to distribution.
The boys of Fedora they are thinking that time to replace to the old and never well weighted Synaptic. |
There is an active discussion on in the fedora mailing list, relative to a Fedora Linux "Software Center".
A new Fedora contributor, Giovanni Campagna, sparked a discussion about creating a Fedora software hub. He acknowledges that there are good user interfaces for package management (GPK-app and Apper), but nothing really in tune with the Ubuntu Software Center. He was even encouraged to suggest that the Ubuntu Software Center be ported to Fedora.
The comments thus far have been mixed with some Fedora developers saying that there is no reason to have a Software Center or App Store and that it is just a fad.
Should you embark on this endeavor, the folks at Fedora have a great challenge ahead of them: copying the good stuff from the Ubuntu Software Center and making it lightweight, easy to use, and more dynamic.
