Summary:
  C: Update device firmware on Linux
Description:
  C: >-
    <p>
          This project aims to make updating firmware on Linux automatic, safe and
          reliable.
          You can either use a GUI software manager like GNOME Software to view and
          apply updates, the command-line tool or the D-Bus interface directly.
        </p>
    <p>
          The fwupd process is a system daemon to allow session software to update
          device firmware on your local machine.
          It is designed for desktops, but this project is also usable on phones,
          tablets and on headless servers.

Summary:
  C: Provides a package management service
Description:
  C: >-
    <p>
          PackageKit allows performing simple software management tasks over a DBus interface e.g. refreshing the cache,
          updating, installing and removing software packages or searching for multimedia codecs and file handlers.
        </p>
    <p>
          The work is done by backends which make use of the package manager shipped by the corresponding distribution.
          The main benefits are:
        </p>
    <ul>
      <li>unified interface on several distributions</li>
      <li>fine grained privileges by using PolicyKit</li>
      <li>independence from a running desktop session during processing</li>
    </ul>
