- User Terminal
dconf-editor gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/updates

- This is modified: 12/28/2013
"This moves more functionality from the gsd updates plugin here: * Notify about successful or unsuccessful offline updates 15 seconds after start. * Monitor for available offline updates and notify about them, once per hour. * Refresh the cache once per day, after 6am. * If important updates are available, or updates have not been installed for at least 7 days, download all available updates. We rely on PackageKit to prepare an offline update when updates have been downloaded. * Avoid mobile networks for cache refresh and downloads."

New proposed Features
AppInstaller in F21
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AppInstallerContinued
"gnome-software will support installing system add-ons such as fonts and codecs. It will show additional metadata for applications: screenshots, ratings, other details. We will also work with the Fedora infrastructure team to obtain the metadata online for all applications instead of shipping it statically for a limited set."

"This all came out of a number of proposals at Flock 2013, including Architecture for a More Agile Fedora and Stephen Gallagher's suggestion that we use that architecture to design, build, and market three distinct Fedora products. This grew into a proposal accepted by the Fedora advisory board, and the formation of Initial Working Groups by FESCo. "
