About

It combines software updates, firmware updates, driver installation, and repository management in a user-friendly interface. Features: - Software updates through PackageKit - Firmware updates via fwupd - Hardware driver detection and installation - Repository management - Update scheduling and policy configuration

Who publishes this

Something concrete is wrong: the id claims a namespace this repository does not own, or the build does things a build should not. Flatsonar warns twice.

  • org.gnome.UpdateCenter claims the org.gnome namespace but is hosted by github.com/yeipills and does not build the owner's code
    publisher:namespace
