I originally was trying to patch set-but-not-used errors but then
quickly found out that a new glib also introduced numerous breakages
due to -Werror breaking on g_thread_init deprecation. Between the
two problems I had already generated 10 patches with no end in site.
Rather than continue, address the real issue and remove -Werror from
this old package.
* include python/extension.mk and PYSITELIB in PLIST instead of hard coded python2.5.
* PKGLOCALEDIR are handled automatically, no need to use in PLIST.
* icontains *.desktop, so include desktop-file-utils/desktopdb.mk.
Bump PKGREVISION.
Shared directories can now be created independently by the pacakges
needing them and will be removed automatically by pkg_delete when empty.
Packages needing empty directories can use the @pkgdir command in PLIST.
Discussed and ok'd in thread starting at

PackageKit is a system designed to make installing and updating software on
your computer easier. The primary design goal is to unify all the software
graphical tools used in different distributions, and use some of the latest
technology like PolicyKit to make the process suck less.
The actual nuts-and-bolts distro tool (yum, apt, conary, etc) is used by
PackageKit using compiled and scripted helpers. PackageKit isn't meant to
replace these tools, instead providing a common set of abstractions that can
be used by standard GUI and text mode package managers.
PackageKit itself is a system activated daemon called packagekitd. Being
system activated means that it's only being run when the user is using a text
mode or graphical tool, and quits when it's no longer being used. This means
we don't delay the boot sequence or session startup and don't consume memory
when not being used.
gnome-packagekit is the name of the collection of graphical tools for
PackageKit to be used in the GNOME desktop.
