Hi developers! I just have implemented compile time type check in package callbacks (see fate#302296 or bnc#51913). In short: function references are now used instead of strings (e.g. Pkg::CallbackProgressDownload(PackageCallbacks::ProgressDownload) instead of Pkg::CallbackProgressDownload("PackageCallbacks::ProgressDownload") which was error prone). The advantage is that registering an invalid function is found at compile time now. Thanks to this feature I have found some problems and fixed them (missing callback functions, wrong parameters etc...) The disadvantage is that the binary compatibility of *.ybc files is broken now. Use 'y2tool y2compile' from yast2-devtools to recompile the modules after installing new yast2-pkg-bindings, yast2-packager and yast2. The implementation of the package callbacks has been moved to yast2.rpm to break cyclic dependency between yast2 and yast2-packager. Another change is that PackageCallbacksInit.ycp module is obsoleted now, but remains for backward compatibility. Use PackageCallbacks::InitPackageCallbacks() instead of PackageCallbacksInit::InitPackageCallbacks() in your modules. I have also adapted the other yast packages which register their own callbacks (autoinstallation, online-update, product-creator), please check my changes and submit the new package. The change was quite large (and spread across 6 packages), if you find any problem with the new callbacks then contact me.
