Instance Methods

Method Details

get_package_info(self, package, factory)

source code

Get information about the given package. Add zero or more implementations using the factory (typically at most two will be added; the currently installed version and the latest available).

Parameters:

package (str) - package name (e.g. "gimp")
factory - function for creating new DistributionImplementation objects from IDs

Overrides: Distribution.get_package_info

installed_fixup(self, impl)

source code

Called when an installed package is added (after fixup), or when installation completes. This is useful to fix up the main value. The default implementation checks that main exists, and searches Distribution.system_paths for it if not.

Parameters:

impl (zeroinstall.injector.model.DistributionImplementation)

Overrides: Distribution.installed_fixup

fixup(self, package, impl)

source code

Some packages require special handling (e.g. Java). This is called for each package that was added by get_package_info after it returns. The default method does nothing.

Parameters:

package (str) - the name of the package
impl (zeroinstall.injector.model.DistributionImplementation) - the constructed implementation

Overrides: Distribution.fixup
