Jeremy Bícha (jbicha) wrote : DRAFT [FFe] gnome-software package split

As requested by the Ubuntu Release Team, I am providing early notice of a Feature Freeze Exception I intend to request soon (later this week hopefully) to split the gnome-software package into separate binary plugins. This will allow users and flavors to specifically opt into the parts of the GNOME Software experience they want. For instance, someone may want to use only the Flatpak part or only the apt/.deb part.

What is Needed Now

Finish the Salsa merge request to get some review from others.
Evaluate different use case workflows and how well the changes help and any issues that may result
