In other words, there is a need to install particular packages from official Fedora repository and using existing methods is either impractical (olpc-update) or impossible (sugar-client). Fallback to using regular (like yum) ways is also not useful because they take too much memory (at the first) and CPU resources, it is a special problem on XO-1 laptops.

The packagekit-backend-presolve project is intended to solve this issue by providing standard way (it is PackageKit backend, i.e., sugar launching code will be common for all platforms, it will call PackageKit all time) to install activity dependencies while consuming as less as possible resources on XO laptops.

This backend might be treated as a temporal solution, i.e., when either XO will be powerful enough or regular installation procedures will take less resources, it will be possible to switch to default PackageKit backend (without making changes in activity launching code).
