Release notes
RELEASE INFO
This marks the first release of sessioninstaller!
INTRODUCTION
Sessioninstaller allows applications to easily install additional software
(e.g. extensions or GSreamer codecs), to uninstall files and to perform simple
software status queries by implementing the distribution neutral D-Bus session
interface of PackageKit.
The whole process of confirmation, error reporting and progress notification
is handled by sessioninstaller.
The reference implementation of the D-Bus interface can be found in
gnome-packagekit. It was also adpoted by KPackageKit.
In contrast to gnome-packagekit and KPackageKit it doesn't use the PackageKit
daemon for querying and installation, but instead makes use of APT and
aptdaemon (alternatively synaptic can be used).
STATUS
The following list shows the implementation status of each interface method.
* org.freedesktop
- IsInstalled: Fully supported
- SearchFile: Only allows to search for installed files by default, but can
make use of apt-file to search for not installed files
* org.freedesktop
- InstallPackageFile: Works with aptdaemon backend. Problem with handling
multiple files.
- InstallProvideF
- InstallCatalogs: Only supports catalogs which use InstallPackages
- InstallPackageN
- InstallMimeTypes: Not supported. Could make use of app-install-data mime
types database or software-centers xapian database.
- InstallFontConf
mapping available in Debian and Ubuntu.
- InstallGStreame
- InstallPrinterD
- RemovePackageBy
The interaction mode which allows to hide certain confirmations and dialogs
is not supported. Currently sessioninstaller will always show all dialogs.
