------------------------------+------------------------------
BPackageKit has a huge number of set-up requirements that may not be
relevant in a lot of use cases.
http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/bin/pkgman/command_refresh.cpp#n45
For example, to refresh the repositories, I need to create a BContext
which is made up of a custom DecisionProvider class and a JobStateListener
class.
To have BDecisionProvider simply accept all changes, I have to write a
silly class as follows:
{{{
class DummyDescision : public BDecisionProvider {
public:
DummyDescision();
~DummyDescision();
bool YesNoDescisionNeeded(const BString&
description,
const BString& question, const BString&
yes,
const BString& no, const BString&
defChoice)
{ return true; }
}
}}}
JobStateListener is even worse:
http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/bin/pkgman/JobStateListener.cpp
Ideally I should be able to construct a BDescisionProvider and a
BJobStateListener with sane defaults (accept all changes, etc)
Why are these API's so infinitely complex?
