RPM-PLUGIN-DBUS-ANNOUNCE(8)

NAME

rpm-plugin-dbus-announce - D-Bus plugin for the RPM Package Manager

DESCRIPTION

The plugin writes basic information about rpm transactions to the system D-Bus - like packages installed or removed. Other programs can subscribe to the signals to be notified of the packages on the system change.

D-BUS SIGNALS

Sends StartTransaction, EndTransaction, StartTransactionDetails and EndTransactionDetails messages from the /org/rpm/Transaction object with the org.rpm.Transaction interface.

The first two signals pass the DB cookie as a string and the transaction id as an unsigned 32 bit integer.

The second two signals, those "details", also pass the DB cookie as a string and the transaction id as an unsigned 32 bit integer and then in addition an array of strings containing space-separated string of values describing the operation and the package NEVRA which are part of the transaction. The last argument is a signed integer with the transaction result.

The package operation can be one of "added", "removed", "rpmdb" or "restored" (quotes for clarity only).
