Description Rahul Sundaram 2008-05-01 15:41:57 UTC
Description of problem:

A local copy of Pirut code is being used in current Rawhide. PackageKit (git
version) has the ability to use a dbus session to install packages easily. We
should switch to that. Note that the target would be Fedora 10. 

Sample code:

#include <dbus/dbus-glib.h>

DBusGConnection *connection;
DBusGProxy *proxy;
GError *error = NULL;
gboolean ret;

connection = dbus_g_bus_get (DBUS_BUS_SESSION, NULL);
proxy = dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name (connection,
                             "org.freedesktop.PackageKit",
                             "/org/freedesktop/PackageKit",
                             "org.freedesktop.PackageKit");
/* execute sync method */
ret = dbus_g_proxy_call (proxy, "InstallPackageName", &error,
                         G_TYPE_STRING, "lohit-fonts-malayalam",
                         G_TYPE_INVALID, G_TYPE_INVALID);
if (!ret) {
        g_warning ("failed: %s", error->message);
        g_error_free (error);
}

Instead of InstallPackageName, it is also possible to use InstallProvideFile and
InstallLocalFile. I will submit a patch if I can tweak this package to do the
right thing.

Comment 2 Paul W. Frields 2008-08-10 20:47:15 UTC
Triage here.  Any luck on the patch, or change in status?

Comment 3 Rahul Sundaram 2008-08-10 21:02:53 UTC
In the earlier discussion I had with the maintainer, we mistakenly had the impression about the usage of Pirut and it would have been a serious problem then due to the switch to PackageKit. This tool instead actually uses yum API directly. We could still use my patch or a variant to switch to the PackageKit API but that is currently low priority as I understand it
