I'm quite excited about this work. Maybe I did something wrong, I tried to contact maintainer of "portupgrade" since I had some port search additions... Didn't post the ports earlier (before this backend backport), since it was kinda useless to run with the "dummy" backend. :-) > We have the > latest PolicyKit coming with GNOME 2.28 (once 8.0 is out the door). > DeviceKit will probably never happen on FreeBSD.

Currently PackageKit requires both PolicyKitOne (0.9x) and also Glib 2.22+, which was why it needed to wait for GNOME 2.28 etc. gnome-packagekit requires DeviceKit-power for "battery" support, but I added a disabler meanwhile (i.e. assume power is connected). --anders
