Since it seems the problems are mostly in the zypp backend and some changed needed in libzypp I would be mostly interested in that part (perhaps I should write to zypp-devel...). The thing is that since Duncan wrote http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2011-11/msg01549.html 9 months aqo I though the problem was being taking care from the zypp/yast team.
The main complaint from Duncan is the lock issue. While the rest of the zypp backend is missing a couple of features, it normally does the job.
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? From the git commit log it looks the only one doing any work on it is
So, there is a list of operations that should be lock-free and currently aren't? Somebody is working on it? If someone wanted to work on it now should he coordinate with somebody? Same about the zypp backend. Anybody looking at it? the PackageKit main developer. Somebody has something done in private? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+owner@opensuse.org
