Description Michael Stephenson 2011-02-05 18:04:22 UTC 
Currently a plugin will only appear as being available to Banshee if it is already installed.

What I am proposing is that Banshee use packagekit to search for all the available plugins, and allow for installing/removing each package individually.

Allowing the user to:
A, have a fine grained control of which plugins are installed without resorting to the terminal or synaptic etc.
B, discover new plugins they may otherwise have not came across.

Naturally this functionality would have to be enabled/disabled at build time for distributions who don't desire or can't use packagekit.

Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
