<title>PackageKit</title>
+ <p>
+ PackageKit lets applications query whether other packages are installed,
+ regardless of the GNU/Linux distribution in which they are running. If
+ your application needs an extra package to be installed at runtime, it can
+ ask PackageKit to download and install it. For example, a multimedia
+ application may need to download a codec, or an illustration program may
+ need to download fonts as needed.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Various Gnome applications use PackageKit in similar situations. Totem,
+ the media player, uses PackageKit to request installation of codecs when it
+ tries to play a media file that it does not recognize.
+ System-config-printer, a program to configure printers when they are
+ plugged in, uses PackageKit to download and install printer drivers as needed.
