- adapted all modules to not use views.ConfigurationView anymore
- removed templates that are not needed anymore
- no more implicit 'enabled' and 'get_status' functions in __init__.py files
- (more coherent/explicit use of Django functionality)
- A lot of boiler plate code can be removed from Plinth if enabling and
disabling an application can be done using a common base form.
- This also allows to define a reusable method in an application for
enabling and disabling.
- This brings more structure to a application module and paves way for
having a different views such as dashboard.
- 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.
