Open-source developer Matthias Klumpp wrote a blog post today outlining his recent work developing pkgcli, a new and modern command-line interface (CLI) around the PackageKit package management abstraction layer...
The continuous evolution of open-source software and developer initiatives naturally leads to cosmetic and usability improvements for existing tools.

Developers working with PackageKit will have a more modern and potentially user-friendly command-line tool, but the underlying package management abstraction remains unchanged.
