In any case, pkcon is CLI and doesn't seem to bring much over yum. What I would like is to run a GUI such as gpk-application (the gnome PackageKit GUI) remotely, via ssh. For some use cases, I find a GUI is quite useful for browsing and searching available packages etc... It mostly works except I can't authenticate as root when needed, so saerching for packages, solving deps etc is OK but installing or removing packages fails. So: sorry if my question wasn't precise enough, what I really wanted to ask was: is there a way tu use a PackageKit GUI remotely via ssh?
Possible approach would be NX (Nomachine) or FreeNX client/server. Connection is via SHH but you get full GUI Access and sound and (local?) printer. NX server is easier to install, but is free only for max 1-2 clients at the same time.
Has anyone packaged the freenx server for 6.x yet?
