*** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** This program should also incorporate autopackage packages (autopackage.org). Autopackage is making great strides in KDE compatibility and should be recognized for KDE 4. Hey man I have a new idea : Program Control Center should be a program that downloads apps sources from kde-apps(or another place) and them compiles them and makes distro packages(.deb,rpm,tgz) and installes them ! Their is an app that makes distro pack from sources kconfigure http://kconfigure.sf.net using checkinstall,but the download and browsing the apps are missing Compiling the source directly is not an option for to much people, I think. The idea is that the kde-package-manager uses the base of the distribution to manage all the package-related things, not an own, maybe incompatible way. why don't u use kde app site and also rpm an deb pakcages with the package manager Please see also BUG #149968 which proposes a replacement of kpackage based on PackageKit. KPackage was recently removed from KDE SC (since 4.4 beta2) as it was completely broken and unmaintained. Most of the common GNU/Linux distributions offer their own tools to deal with packages, and KDE is working on an universal package manager replacement named "Shaman" (to superseed KPackageKit) Closing the KPackage's bug reports as UNMAINTAINED.
