'''A graphical tool to manage your packages'''‎

Edit

{{Note|1='''KPackageKit''' has been redesigned and is now known as [[Special:myLanguage/Apper|Apper]]. The information in this page is obsolete.}}‎

Edit

==Features==‎

Edit

* Manages installation and un-installation of packages * Manages package updates * Can be searched by package-name, description, or included file name * Supports filtering on ** Installed or available ** Free or non-free ** End-user or development ** Graphical or text-only * Can be viewed in package groups‎

Edit

==Installing packages==‎

Edit

If you know the name of the package, you can simply type that into the ''search bar'' - the default is to find by name.‎

Edit

{{Note|Searches are slow, as the package database has to be queried - both your local one and the database of each repo. You will find that working while it does that is slow.}}‎

Edit

Suppose, though, you need suggestions for suitable packages. This time you would choose to <menuchoice>Find by Description</menuchoice>. For instance, entering "flaac" into the search term then selecting <menuchoice>Find by Description</menuchoice> you would be presented with all packages that are related to the use of flaac files. Installed packages show a grey X (which will be used if you need to remove something) and available packages have a grey down-arrow.‎

Edit

So - you have a list of suitable files. Click on one of them and a panel opens giving you a description of the file. (Enlarge the image above to see this, then use your browser's <menuchoice>Back</menuchoice> button to return here.) There are three other options to display - a list of files included in the package, a list of dependencies (which will be automatically handled if you choose to install)‎

Edit

and a list of applications that depend upon the package you choose.‎

Edit

Edit

Having found the application that is best for you, click on the down-arrow and you will see both the package icon and the action icon become active. Click <keycap>OK</keycap>, and your package will be installed.‎

Edit

==Updating your packages==‎

Edit

The second section lists any packages for which updates are available. As before, the ''repos'' and your installation are queried, so there is a delay. When the list is created, it is presented in groups.‎

Edit

[[Image:KPackageKitUpdates.png|300px|thumb|center|Available updates are grouped]]‎

Edit

Again, dependencies are resolved when you agree to the download.‎

Edit

==Configuration Options==‎

Edit

[[Image:KPackageKitSettings.png|300px|thumb|center|The Settings Page]]‎

Edit

The third and final section of '''KPackageKit''' is the <menuchoice>Settings</menuchoice> page. Here you can set the frequency of checking for updates, according to your need. The default is <menuchoice>Daily</menuchoice>, but for an ultra-secure site you could choose Hourly, and for a lightly used one you can have <menuchoice>Weekly</menuchoice> or <menuchoice>Monthly</menuchoice> frequency.‎

Edit

Next is whether you want updates to be installed automatically. A nice touch is to be able to say that security updates should be automatically installed, but no other packages.‎

Edit

The next choice is whether you want the tray icon to notify you of available updates, and whether it should tell you when large jobs are finished.‎

Edit

The final section lists all the repos you have set up. Here you can enable or disable individual repos.‎

Edit

==The Tray Icon==‎

Edit

Finally, the tray icon can give you some information while your install or upgrade is progressing.‎

Edit

[[Image:KPackageKitTray.png|300px|thumb|center|Right-click on the Tray icon]]‎

Edit

Here you can see the progress of your batch of updates or installs. A simple hover over the icon gives you a percentage reading of the job.‎
