There's https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/Cogitri/apk-polkit. It currently works for upgrading/adding/installing (etc.) packages, I'll only have to add functionality to send the status of a current operation over DBus (right now the server binary just prints it to stdout) and add functionality to send the list of of installed/available/upgradable packages via DBus.

I miss the part where the integration with Gnome software is? How if works?

By Alexey Min on 2020-03-22T15:31:11

For that I'll have to make a MR to GNOME Software where it calls the right functions I provide. That shouldn't be much effort though since I designed the API with GNOME Software in mind (so it's mostly just linking the right lib and mapping the right functions to what GNOME Software expects).

By Rasmus Thomsen on 2020-03-22T16:13:22

Ah, I see, so the integration part is not ready yet, only privilege escalation part?

By Alexey Min on 2020-03-31T19:01:45

Ah, forgot to to reply apparently. The privilege escalation part works now for all functionality I currently need. I only need to adapt the dbus client API a little now and then it should hopefully be good to go for a first version by the weekend :)

I have a working version now:

Here's the MR at upstream for it:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/merge_requests/438

There's still some stuff missing, like searching for apps and progress bars, but other than that it's working fine AFAICS :)

I hope we can have this merged into the next build for postmarketOS since app store functionality is a significant usability milestone.

By Care Bear on 2020-07-28T16:54:59

Actually, this should be in already, both in edge and in v20.05.

By Rasmus Thomsen on 2020-07-28T16:54:59

Let's close this and discuss in #698 (closed)

By Rasmus Thomsen on 2020-07-28T16:55:19

Yup, this is in. Closing, thanks for all your hard work @Cogitri!
