yes conary support rollbacks :) its hard to code because internally the actions of conary divide on Jobs one job can be a set of actions (update/install/remove) So if i install packagekit it install packagekit:devel packagekit:runtime as a Job 1 update packagekit:config as a Job 2 So the rollbacks its not remove installed/updated packages its revert a set of jobs what as applied to system. for back to a before state of Job. Im have understand the rollbacks its controlled by packagekit reverting install/updates packages. Conary not depend from Packagekit for do a rollbacks. Depends of the Set of jobs applied. I think a feature for support rollbacks not doing for packagekit( send signals, but not do the actions. ) only by the backend will be great. other stuff is if conary install packages from cli (without help of packagekit) the packagekit database not updated. Because Packagekit its a GUI fronted of conary.... Can code a some plugin for add packagekit integration with conary from conary cli. But its more work its pending. <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 7:46 AM, Mounir Lamouri <<a href="mailto:mounir.lamouri@gmail.com">mounir.lamouri@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="im">On Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 2:32 PM, Richard Hughes<<a href="mailto:hughsient@gmail.com">hughsient@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > I don't think any of the backends support rollback, even the conary > one.

Comments? </div>I don't really see the need of rollback for the user. For sure, it can't be something to be used as easily as CTRL+Z (undo/redo). So if it has to exit it can be something in a menu. In addition, I don't see a lot of things that should be rollbacked: installl/remove and enable/disable repository ? In this case, I think the client can implement that himself. If the user install a package, he can add in a menu: 'Uninstall foo'. If it has been uninstalled, it will be'Reinstall foo'. The same thing for repositories. What do you think about this ? :) Mounir <div><div></div><div class="h5">_______________________________________________ PackageKit mailing list <a href="mailto:PackageKit@lists.freedesktop.org">PackageKit@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/packagekit" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/packagekit</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
