Then we will need such an event source at least for OpenSuse-Updater if we
wanna prevent it from polling all the time in the background; won`t we?
YaST2 sw_single would for sure profit from it as well, because otherwise the
user will have to quit and restart YaST-Sw-Single in order to get his recent
changes applied, something the user will not expect.
Even other programmes with an install-feature-on-demand feature like some
YaST network modules or perhaps other 3rd party software could register their
own listener (even open/save file dialogues do).
If libzypp exposed such a dbus system event source for repository catalogue
changes that would at least ascertain that there is a central point for things
like repository enable/disablements, add/del-actions or refreshes. It would
make things easier for both users and developers.
f.i. I do not really like the infringed
yast-enter-repository-url-dialogue, which pops up if Yast finds out that the
package to be installed is not available during the installation process.
If the thing about repository-altertion-events should anyhow be worth further
considerations I will open up a new feature request for it.
