<doniphon> mkj_wk: issue is trickier afaik - notion pkgKit has of critical
update != from one conary has .... smerp][ can elaborate more on that ...
(only way to spot this for sure is with testing)
#foresight-devel
<smerp][> mkj_wk: afraid that PK's updateall isn't doing critical updates; it
behaves kind of like rAPA
Look at conary/updatecmd.py --
class CriticalUpdateInfo(conaryclient.CriticalUpdateInfo):
criticalTroveRegexps = ['conary:.*']
There should be something like this in PK, but with appropriate parts
of PK also listed.
Then look at how CriticalUpdateInfo is used in _updateTroves().
So should be possible to spot this without testing, by code inspection.
I'm going to assume here that smerp is right; he should know. :)
Given that, the idea of a pygtk app to help with the transition
makes sense.
It should say something like:
Updates to Foresight are now available. For a variety of
technical reasons, the update process is temporarily more
complex than usual. After this update process is complete,
your update process will return to normal.
In order to complete this update process, you should first
close running programs.
Second, you need to update to the latest version of Conary.
[Update Conary Now]
Third, try updating your system with the "updateall" command:
[Update All Installed Packages]
Depending on which packages you have installed in the past,
that update process mail fail, possibly with messages about
"file conflicts" or "dependency failures". If this happens,
you will need to update your system to the form that is
released as ISO images. This will remove extra packages that
you have previously installed, and you will have to add them
back after this step.
[Migrate To Default Installation]
Each button spawns a gnome-terminal session that runs a command.
* [Update Conary Now] -- "sudo conary update conary --resolve"
* [Update All Installed Packages] -- "sudo conary updateall"
* [Migrate To Default Installation] -- "sudo conary migrate group-gnome-dist"
The commands that should be run should be something like this:
gnome-terminal --maximizze -e 'sudo conary ...; echo ""; echo "Press Enter to
close window"; read' --working-directory=/
That whole app needs to be a single-file pygtk app.
