Libzypp uses new locking api now. You can find it in Locks.h. Works everything except unlock, which I hope implement today. few notes about functions - supported is reading and writing locks to file (default is file specified in zypp.conf). - loadLock append to locks available, if someone find useful setting new locks instead appending (something like restore old locks for frontend) it can be added. - addLock locks all result of query and also store this query for later save, also Selectabable can be locked, it uses optimally query to lock - saving locks must frontend explicit call - saving locks rewrite locks file (as unwanted side effect remove all comments) - existEmptyLocks and removeEmptyLocks is functions to maintance locks. First say if exist some locks which doesn't lock anything and second clean it. (ask for each lock by callback) - if locksfile.apply (see zypp.conf) is on (default) then after start of zypp locks is loaded and applied overview of new file format structure is 'attribute: value', locks (queries) separated by empty line attribute can be global_string (see addString for PoolQuery), string_type (values can be exact, substring, regex, glob), repo (repo allias), kind (Resolvable kind), require_all (if all attribute must match), case_sensitive (search case sensitive), install_status( values can be all, installed, not-installed) and all SolvAttributes with replaced colon ( s/:/_/g ). for example look [0]. default locks file path is /etc/zypp/locks Pepa [0] http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/zypp/trunk/libzypp/tests/zypp/data/PoolQuery/sav... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
