Pool by itself is a transaction.
Ehh? No, it isn't. I never understood the use of the word 'transaction' in libzypp (or "an item transacts", which gives me even more creeps). A
Yeah, i guess this 'transaction' is just a short version of 'things to be acted upon by the transaction'. So how else should we call it?
I don't see the distinction to "pool". After all, that's exactly the things to be acted upon. <algebra> Or did you mean that subset of pool that actually changed. I.e. given pool' = trans(pool) did you mean (pool' U pool) \ (pool' intersect pool) ? I'm not readily aware that this set has an agreed upon name. (pool' intersect pool) is related to the kernel of 'trans', hence this whole set is mostly (one element is missing) isomorphic to the quotient (pool U pool')/(ker trans). But calling this set "transaction quotient" would probably also confuse most people. :-) </algebra> Even if you want to make the distinction between "pool" and the above quotient set, you can't call "pool" transaction, because that includes more elements (namely the unchanged ones).
