Brock,
During the installation, the licenses to be displayed have to come not
only from the packages that the user selected, but also from the
dependencies (recursively). Does the package plan interface have the
ability to get the list of fmri strings to pass in after the plan has
been evaluated?
Also, as we move forward, it will be necessary to have access to other
meta data about packages, such as the change list. So would the
PackageInfo class be extended to include information about other actions?
Since an action is a fundamental concept in pkg(5), it seems that Action
objects should be exposed in the API.

For the 2008.11 we will add license tab for packages. If this will be
not provided by the API then we will need to pull the license calling
other methods.
I looked into this a bit, and I've added a new piece to the API, info.
It lets the caller retrieve package information for all the fmri strings
provided. In this function, there's an argument which chooses whether or
not to retrieve the licenses. Are there other bits of information you
might need for a package which aren't captured by PackageInfo? Will this
info function provide the interface to the licenses you need?
def info(self, fmri_strings, local, get_licenses):
# fmri_strings: fmri names
# local: whether information is gathered locally or remotely
# get_licenses: whether to retrieve the text of the licenses
# Returns: A tuple consisting of:
# a list of PackageInfo's for all fmri's whose
information
# was found
# a list of all the fmri strings whose information could
# not be found
class PackageInfo(object):
def __init__(name=None, summary=None,
state=None,
authority=None, version=None,
build_release=None,
branch=None,
packaging_date=None,
size = None, fmri = None, licenses=None):
self.name = name
self.summary = summary
self.state = state,
self.authority = fmri.strip_auth_pfx(authority)
self.version = version
self.build_release = build_release
self.branch = branch
self.packaging_date = packaging_date
self.size = size
self.fmri = fmri
self.licenses = licenses
Thanks,
Brock
