[packagekit] Backend API Thought.

[Tim Lauridsen]

Hi

I have done a little thinking about what could be useful to have in the 
packagekit backend API.

* get-group-list : Get a list groups found in the repositories.
To make it possible to make dynamic group view in a frontend client.
(search-group should be used to get the packages in the groups)
signals:
group<tab>categoryid;groupid<tab>translated categoryname;translated 
groupname<tab>translated group describtion

examples:
group<tab>application;editors<tab>Application;Editors<tab>"Sometimes 
called text editors, these are programs that allow you to create and 
edit files. These include Emacs and Vi."
...
*install-group/remove-group <groupid>
Install/remove group
*get-packages<filter> : get list of packages
filter could be installed, available, recent (newly updated/added 
available packages), extras (packages install but not found in repo)
This could be used if someone will make package manager gui the show all 
installed/available packages (yumex, pirut, synaptic etc)
signals:
package <id>....

Comments, please and other suggestion there could be useful in tha 
backend API.
