[packagekit] Abstract PackagekitGroups ?

[Anders F Björklund]

timlau/hughsie,

Would it be possible to make the yumComps interface
more "generic", like done with the PackagekitFilter ?

I'm thinking something like:

-class yumComps:
+class YumComps(PackagekitGroups):

-    def __init__(self, yumbase, db = None):
+    def __init__(self, backend, db=None):
      ### yumbase = backend.yumbase

-    def get_group(self, pkgname):
+    def get_group(self, package):
      ### pkgname = package.name

Then the same could be used by other backends too,
possibly including the caching (memory or sqlite).

class PackageKitSmartBackend(PackageKitBaseBackend):

     def _get_group(self, info, filter_desktops=True):
     ### info can be gotten from the usual Package class,
     ### and "filter_desktops" was just an optimization -
     ### that is not needed if groups are pre-calculated

class PackageKitAptBackend(PackageKitBaseBackend):

     def _get_package_group(self, pkg):
