Something like the attached:

 backends/dummy/pk-backend-dummy.c  |   20 ++++++++++++-
 backends/yum/helpers/yumBackend.py |    6 ++++
 libpackagekit/pk-client.c          |   39 ++++++++++++++++++++++++--
 src/Makefile.am                    |    3 ++
 src/pk-backend.c                   |    3 +-
 src/pk-engine.c                    |   55 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 src/pk-interface-transaction.xml   |    9 ------
 src/pk-transaction.c               |   50 +++++++++++----------------------
 src/pk-transaction.h               |    1 
 9 files changed, 139 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-)

I guess I'll merge this after the release -- it seems a bit 11th hour to
do it now. Reviews appreciated.

Richard.
