Kapti, an experimentation on package installation/removal, UI (Tres Finocchiaro)
 

This may sound naive, but are the Software Center's binaries/APIs restricted so much to GTK that QT could not to leverage them?* I'm thinking libpurple-ish thoughts, like how Adium leverages the Pidgin API without using it's GUI.


Since DEB package managers must (must?) leverage apt/aptitude I'd understand if the answer was that all of the code-base is GUI, and the API wouldn't logically exit (and therefor there would be nothing to leverage?).

It will allow that, but I think there'd be problems with the large amount of

space including GTK and GNOME libraries would take on the CD.
