Apper
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Apper is the KDE interface for PackageKit (aka KPackageKit)
Apper is able to manage packages, applications and updates in a cross-distribution way thanks to the PackageKit project. Providing Linux users a single application that they can learn and use in whatever distribution they are.
Hope you enjoy Apper, and please report bugs, make wishes so we can improve this application.
BUGS goes to bugs.kde.org
-----------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT:
Apper itself can do nothing without PackageKit.
So have it installed before.

On Kubuntu new users can't find a easy way of installing apps because It is called Kpackagekit and not Software manager or something, and not under Favorites but far away inside the Kmenu (I know it's a Kubuntu thing maybe) and I was searching for the install button I was not able to find it, after a minute i saw the little arrow on the right side, maybe a idea to follow the KDE rules and make a button "download" with a arrow, like it is on download new stuff on KDE 4. And another thing, when i start the program it's empty, I have to select another filter or search something and delete that again to see all packages. I this a bug? Ok thats it for now. It's a nice package manager, it's impressive fast.

And most user normally use it from system settings where it's called "Add and Remove software".
Now kubuntu might change that, which I'm not aware since i don't use it.

The important part is to ${KDE4_KIO_LIBS} be inside that..

It's a yum plugin changelog.
Fedora users may install it like this:
yum install yum-plugin-changelog
Then use it like this:
yum changelog 2009-Jun mysql

It'd be great if you could make a habit of notifying the kde-i18n-doc mailing list a week or so before you tag/release, so translators know when it's a good time to do their magic.
As the default package manager for (at least) Fedora and Kubuntu it's very important that KPackageKit is well and fully translated.

It really is a shame! Adept never made problems!
Even on a 3-days-old system I get error in Kpackagekit!

And by telling you have used adept, you probably use some Ubuntu variants, which it THE ONE to blame.
