Padraig - as this is post 2009.06, I'd like us to review all the Tab
panels and decide what they should look like. As we are introducing a
Tree View to get around l10n layout issues, I think we could use the
installed icon in the Dependencies tab if we also change it to use the
Tree View. We should review all this with Jenya.
Whatever we do its good to know the performance is not an issue here for
fetch and display this info.
There should no longer be a performance issue in calling api_o.info() to
obtain package information. In fact, if done properly, there should no
longer be a need for the GUI to cache this information as manifest
accesses are very cheap now.
There are three key changes I'd like to see in the GUI post 2009.06:
* Elimination of cache
* Change to --not-- load information of all packages in memory
* Move to using api.info() always instead of using manifest
Cheers,
