Add public function to depsolv from a pool #46
Conversation
This can be useful for applications that do not work with repos in the filesystem, e.g, with databases. As long as the pool is pre-populated with repos, the depsolving still works. Signed-off-by: Rafael Fonseca <r4f4rfs@gmail.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
g_return_val_if_fail, asserts are getting optimized.

Do you have some use-case in mind for this? |
|
Yes, for Pulp like we were discussing on IRC the other day. I'll ask someone from Pulp to chime in. |
|
the problem here is that you won't be able to pass libsolv's Python pool to here... |
|
Even if we write a SWIG python binding to fus? |
|
since we are using GObject here, SWIG/Cython is no-go. We need to use GObject Introspection. But you would need to write gobject introspected bindings for libsolv... And I don't think anyone wants to do that. |
|
So do you think the easiest way would be to re-implement the algorithm in python? |
|
@r4f4 @ignatenkobrain you guys are 1h ahead of my current headache :D PS sorry for stupid questions, I don't know GObject/SWIG/Cython |
Answering myself: this would mean basically wrapping a lot of |
|
What about making it accessible via a native (C) Python extension? (FWIW I don't have much experience with this either) |
|
What exactly you want to make accessible? |
