NAME

urpm::main_loop - The install/remove main loop for urpm based programs (urpmi, gurpmi, rpmdrake, drakx)

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

run($urpm, $state, $something_was_to_be_done, $ask_unselect, $callbacks)

Run the main urpm loop:

• mount removable media if needed

• split the work in smaller transactions

• for each transaction:

  • prepare the transaction

  • download packages needed for this small transaction

  • verify packages

  • split package that should be installed instead of upgraded,

  • install source package only (whatever the user is root or not, but use rpm for that)

  • install/remove other packages

• migrate the chrooted rpmdb if needed

• display the final success/error message(s)

Warning: locking is left to callers...
