expose more information from "click list --manifest" in PK API

[Colin Watson]

18:08 <alecu> cjwatson: the thing is that after installing, I only have the package name (like com.ubuntu.ubuntu-weather)
18:08 <alecu> cjwatson: where should I take the default appname and the installed version from ?
18:09 <cjwatson> the appname is in the manifest, first level below "hooks"
18:09 <cjwatson> (package may have >1 app)
18:10 <alecu> right
18:10 <cjwatson> in fact you can get everything from "click list --manifest"
18:11 <cjwatson> bit cumbersome with lots of apps, I should probably improve that, but workable for now I think
18:11 <alecu> cjwatson: so, should I be spawning "click" to get at this? I've still got a bug to replace the calls to pkcon with dbus
18:11 <alecu> *the spawning of pkcon, that is
18:11 <cjwatson> Right now yes - the plan is absolutely to expose this over the dbus packagekit api
18:12 <cjwatson> Wait, maybe I already did
18:12 * cjwatson 's past self is smarter than present self
18:12 <alecu> :-)
18:12 <cjwatson> I hooked up GetPackages, but it doesn't expose the app name
18:13 <cjwatson> So you're probably still best off calling click for now until I have that hooked up somewhere
18:13 <alecu> great
18:13 * cjwatson files a bug for himself

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package click - 0.4.8

---------------
click (0.4.8) saucy; urgency=low

  * Show a proper error message if "click build" or "click buildsource" is
    called on a directory that does not exist or does not contain a manifest
    file, rather than crashing (LP: #1228619).
  * Restore missing newlines after JSON dumps in "click info" and "click
    list --manifest".
  * Tidy up use of PackageKit IDs; local:click should refer to uninstalled
    packages, while installed:click refers to installed packages.
  * Expose application names and whether a package is removable via the
    PackageKit API: the IDs of installed applications are now formed as
    comma-separated key/value pairs, e.g.
    "installed:click,removable=1,app_name=foo,app_name=bar" (LP: #1209329).
  * Rename ClickUser.__setitem__ to ClickUser.set_version and
    ClickUser.__delitem__ to ClickUser.remove; with multiple databases it
    was impossible for these methods to fulfil the normal contract for
    mutable mappings, since deleting an item might simply expose an item in
    an underlying database.
  * Allow unregistering preinstalled packages. A preinstalled package
    cannot in general actually be removed from disk, but unregistering it
    for a user records it as being hidden from that user's list of
    registered packages. Reinstalling the same version unhides it.
  * Consolidate ClickInstaller.audit_control into ClickInstaller.audit.
  * Validate the shipped md5sums file in "click verify" (LP: #1217333).
