hello, I started an effort to add a feature to fedora https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/MediaRepo I was told by David Zeuthen that the API of DeviceKit-disks is not yet stable he advised me to use GIO (GVolumeMonitor) so I made my patch implementation independent we can use HAL or DeviceKit or GIO the only thing need to be changed in different implementations is from yumMediaManager import MediaManager should be from yumMediaManagerHAL import MediaManager or from yumMediaManagerGIO import MediaManager ..etc. Richard Hughes had accepted my patch http://cgit.freedesktop.org/packagekit/commit/?id=3a75f454a53294a62a8f1eb93d0c3e53cc02a966 as you can see in that commit http://cgit.freedesktop.org/packagekit/tree/backends/yum/yumMediaManager.py there is no implementation but I made a HAL implementation, you can find it in PK mailing list http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/packagekit/2009-July/005166.html I know hal is to be dropped, the hal code it's just a placeholder I want some to help me having a GIO version and a deviceKit version of yumMediaManager.py can anybody tell me what is the command line in deviceKit that works like this HAL dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/Manager org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager.FindDeviceByCapability string:volume.disc or a simple hello world GIO segmetn in python that just list devices ..etc. any kind of help is welcome -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
