- Refresh package list before trying to install packages. Also lookup
the ID of the package, including the version, using the newly fetched
package list.
- Call on_install() callback requested by modules only if the package
installation was successful. Handle any exception raised in the
callback itself.
- Handle exceptions raised during packagekit operations. Also check the
returned results for error code.
- Capture error/success status during a transaction. Don't destroy the
transaction object until the error/success status has been collected.
When a view is refreshed after completion of a transaction collect the
result of the transaction and show it to the user.
- Handle cases where package searches in the package list fails. Simply
show the package name without its description.
- Uses PackageKit dameon, Glib library wrapping packagekit DBUS API and
Python bindings for the Glib library.
- Implement a decorator to wrap views requiring packages.
- Framework allows for parallel operations. However, doing parallel
operations hangs because of what appears to be PackageKit backend
limitations.
