Howdy!

I just noticed that lucid still includes the update-notifier-kde, but at the
same time features it's C++ based replacement kubuntu-notification-helper. So I
am wondering why we still need unk, did just no one bother to remove it yet,
or is there some real usecase that knh does not yet support?

On a related note: earlier today I uploaded a new packagekit version that
enables dist-upgrade and notification capabilities in lucid.

Nobody has bothered to remove it yet. KNH does everything that UNK
did, except for the package updates/distro upgrade features that
PackageKit handles for us.

Neat. If for some reason this doesn't pan out, KNH does have a
distribution upgrade feature that isn't currently built, so I
think we're fairly safe here.

Ok, I'll grab my laser screwdriver

Should work just fine, though I tried it on karmic quite some time ago with
patched up kpk and pk. I'll prepare a test cases as soon as I get to it
though.

Jonathan introduced a transitional package and the other Jonathan removed the
source package from the archives

So long update-notifier-kde, was nice knowing you!
