## Problem The call to the sotware service to check for the availability of a package is mocked and always returns true, assuming the package is always available. Of course, the availability of a package depends of the currently selected product. ## Solution Perform a D-Bus call to the software service in order to know if a package is available. Note: This change exposes a problem in our services. Asking for the product availability should be done once the software proposal is done, otherwise the result is not reliable at all, see #1005. For example, the TPM option in the storage settings could not appear until the software service has finished, see #995. ## Testing * Added new unit tests * Tested manually

Override directory to redirect some yast modules to use D-Bus methods. It is just temporary workaround for POC. | ||
This directory contains some redefinitions of YaST modules in order to call to D-Bus methods instead | ||
of executing the actual code of the module. | ||
|
||
# Why is this needed? | ||
|
||
Agama relies on YaST code and YaST usually works as a single process. By contrast, Agama works as a | ||
set of different processes (software service, storage service, etc), and each service runs its own | ||
YaST instance. | ||
|
||
Having different YaST instances implies that the information is scattered in different processes. | ||
For example, only the YaST instance in the software service has the information about the software | ||
configuration. This means that other YaST instances need to ask to the software YaST instance for | ||
the information. | ||
|
||
# How to communicate among YaST instances | ||
|
||
A YaST instance can get information from other instance by doing a D-Bus call to the service running | ||
such an instance. For example, the YaST instance in the storage service has to call to the D-Bus API | ||
of the software service instead of directly calling to the software module code. To achieve that, | ||
the storage service replaces the implementation of the YaST software module by its own | ||
implementation which uses D-Bus calls. | ||
|
||
# How to replace a YaST module | ||
|
||
The code replacement of the YaST modules is done by means of the *Y2DIR* mechanism of YaST. When a | ||
service is started (check *agamactl* script), the YaST modules redefined by the service (under | ||
*lib/agama/dbus/y2dir/*) are added to the *Y2DIR* environment variable. YaST takes precedence of the | ||
paths at *Y2DIR*, so these files will be loaded instead of the files originally delivered by YaST. |
