conary on packagekit its taped foresight release

Blogpost

Today im read on IRC channel:

foresight linux 2.3.0 will be taped out as soon as we get the PkgKit backend working again and fix polkit to not use root password

OMG!! ok lets take PackageKit an get works again and then release foresight 2.3.0 . The good point is Smerp its helping.

On other way Doniphon request use packagekit 0.5.x series. So i create a branch on packagekit git repo (conary-devel) for trying to get the packagekit works.

Whats the problem on PackageKit ?
Actually PackageKit=fl:2-devel have a blocked issue. When do the equal of "conary rq" the conary backend do a findtroves of a list of packages.
Example : pkcon search name py

the backend search all packages on xml cache what contains py, now packagekit needs know if packages are installed or availables. So all packages pass to a "conary q" if return a trove its installed now have a group of packages what not know if availables then do a "conary rq" here its where packagekit get the issue. For some reason do a client.repo.findtroves(installLabel,PackagesSpec) take a long time for answer or never end ..you can view this on /tmp/conarybackend.log when do a search seen the last action put its doing repos.findTroves.. i think need take a look into a findTrove method of conary and seen why taking time for answer....
