Originally openSUSE shipped with a custom update applet, but since it was basically unmaintained, the decision was made to switch to Apper for openSUSE 12.2</p> <p>The original Apper used in that version had a number of issues, which the upstream developer (Daniel Nicoletti) <a href="http://dantti.wordpress.com/2013/01/08/happy-new-apper-release-0-8-0/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">fixed in a newer version, which also had a lot of other improvments</a>. However we originally couldn&rsquo;t switch because it depended on a newer, API-incompatible version of PackageKit, meaning that the PK bindings for libzypp (the heart of openSUSE&rsquo;s package management) needed to be adjusted and ported.</p>
