PackageKit and Presto

[Martin Sourada]

Hi,

Fedora 11 is probably going to see two great improvements to our updates
system - the PackageKit one makes the updates much more verbose and the
Presto one saves a lot of bandwith. The problem is that PackageKit does
not know about presto and thus showing download progress for Presto
enabled repos is broken. Yesterday I was waiting about 10 minutes before
anything other than "Downloading packages" appeared and even then,
packages fetched via Presto weren't marked as downloaded.

So I though I'd ask. Is anyone working on this? Should I expect it to be
working at F11 GA?

PS: The new PackageKit update interface rocks :-)

Thanks,
Martin

If presto is going to be enabled by default this must be fixed before
GA, please file a bug and mark it as blocker.

Please don't abuse the blocker bugs.  This is certainly not a blocker

+1 - it's not a blocker.

Should we just remove it (meaning the F11Blocker blocking) then or does
F11Target sounds saner?

Target sounds saner, not sure what the likelihood is in either case.

I've pushed a fix and asked for the build to be tagged here:
https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/1542

I'm also quite surprised we turned this on by default post-devel freeze.

This question was asked on March 29th, no one objected.  Worth the effort
IMO.

It's not on by default, nor will it be for F-11... it will only be
enabled for folks that go and install 'yum-presto'.

If everything looks great, we can enable it by default in F12. ;)
