Is it still being developed?
Has not worked (with Debian distro) in many months.

I believe KPackageKit is recommend now instead.

KpackageKit is an amazing piece of software.
=> After unpacking 52,9MB will be used.

Synaptic => After unpacking 13,6MB will be used.
Adept => After unpacking 27,6MB will be used.

The bigger piece of software is usually not the most reliable.

Maybe the future is for Shaman 2.

size doesn't say anything.

You know, kpackage was simple, intuitive, and it just worked.... I miss it.
I think kde reinvented the wheel on this one.

You should now investigate MUON

Kpackage was it discontinued? or is it being revamped? look forward to getting back.

kpackage - Google'ing I see no indication that kpackage is alive, as best I can tell it was dropped around kde4.4

shaman 2 - is/was it ever available/working on anything except chakra? according to the Chakra wiki it is not currently usable http://chakra-project.org/wiki/index.php/Shaman "This means Shaman 2 is not usable at this moment, since the Pacman update in Arch Linux broke Aqpm 2, the previous backend for Shaman"

muon - as it's apt based will it work in distros that are rpm based (openSuse, Fedora, Mandriva)?
