So, there is a list of operations that should be lock-free and currently aren't? Somebody is working on it?
Uh, I don't know (I'm not a member of the zypp team). I think Michael Andres did some work to fix the lock issue but I don't know the current state.
If someone wanted to work on it now should he coordinate with somebody?
Yes, coordinate with zypp-devel
Same about the zypp backend. Anybody looking at it?
From http://gitorious.org/packagekit/packagekit/blobs/master/backends/PORTING.txt is seems it would be good if libzypp would be thread-safe. It's the case? If not, could be done in a reasonably time or it would be way too much work?
Thread safe? I don't think that's really needed.
