Earlier this week, we reported on the Berlin Packaging API, an effort to consolidate the various different packaging formats and managers in the Linux world. Many compared this new effort to PackageKit, and today Linux.com is running an article detailing what PackageKit exactly is, with a few quotes from the project's lead developer, Richard Hughes.

Well packagekit is indeed cool. And I have great respect for Richard's work. He did this is in a very short time. For example if you want to open a openoffice file and you don't have it installed. Packagekit can ask to install the required program.
