Internal Links: 1411423

Description Martin Kolman 2017-01-09 17:22:44 UTC
Description of problem:
The progress() method of the TransactionProgress class works with a number of "action" constants:
http://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api_callback.html#dnf.callback.TransactionProgress.progress

As the action constants correspond to events that might happen during a transaction it can be expected that that also the constants (or at least some of them) can only show up in some order. Eq. PKG_INSTALL for a package will always show up before PKG_VERIFY, TRANS_POST shows up at the very end, etc.

But the action/constant order is currently not documented, which might complicate usage of this API.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Read the docs: Revision e5d2e280.

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to the DNF callback documentation: http://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api_callback.html#dnf.callback.TransactionProgress.progress
2. try to find out the order of the action constants

Actual results:
The order of the action constants is currently not documented.

Expected results:
The order of the action constants is documented, so API users can make current assumptions when writing their code.

A small typo in the description: "users can make *cprrect* assumptions when writing their code."

*correct* :P

Comment 3 Honza Silhan 2017-01-09 17:26:37 UTC
We will improve the doc. It should be done together with bug 1411423.

Comment 4 Honza Silhan 2017-01-16 12:20:32 UTC
we should revert dnf commit which removes RPM callbacks.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 10:54:54 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.
