# Set whether the spawned backends are allowed to be SIGKILLed if they do not

# Even if this is set TRUE, the backend can still enforce this FALSE if it it

# Default backends, as chosen in the configure script. This will be used
# where no --backend="foo" option is given to the daemon.

# Check for updates in testing repositories when we check for updates

# default=true
CheckTestingRepos=true

# Use update cache when possible to avoid using the backend
#
# NOTE: Enabling this reduces calls to the backend, although using the
# SetHints(cache-age) parameter will return unpredicable results for
# transactions.
#
# default=false
UseUpdateCache=false

# Use strict developer checking in the daemon
#
# This should be set to TRUE if the backend should be run in strict compliance
# mode, which is useful when developing a backend. Normal sane users should not
# have to use this mode.
#
# If this is set to FALSE, then the daemon will try to 'fix' any craziness in
# the backend without notifying the end user.
#
# default=false
DeveloperMode=false

# The time in seconds to wait when we get the StateHasChanged method
#
# This should be used when a native tool has been used, and the update UIs
# should be updated to reflect reality.

# default=30
StateChangedTimeoutPriority=30

# The time in seconds to wait after the computer has been resumed or any non

# default=600
StateChangedTimeoutNormal=600

# The maximum number of requests a given user is able to request and queue
#
# Setting this lower decreases the risk of a local denial of service, but may
# cause errors if the desktop client is doing many requests to the daemon in a
# short period of time.
#
# default=500
SimultaneousTransactionsForUid=500

# The maximum number of items that can be resolved in one method
#
# Setting this lower decreases the risk of a local denial of service, but may
# cause errors if the desktop client is trying to resolve a large number of
# packages in one method.
#
# default=100
MaximumItemsToResolve=3200

# The maximum number of packages that can be processed in one method
#
# Setting this lower decreases the risk of a local denial of service, but may
# cause errors if the desktop client is trying to do a large transaction.
#
# default=2500
MaximumPackagesToProcess=4000

# How long the transaction is valid before it's destroyed, in seconds
#
# The client only has a finite amount of time to use the object, else it is
# destroyed. Setting this longer will allow malicious clients to queue up large
# number of authentication requests, but setting this shorter will reduce the
# amount of time the user has to authenticate.
#
# default=300
TransactionCreateCommitTimeout=300

# How long the transaction should be queriable after it is finished, in seconds
#
# Give the client a few seconds to still query the transaction after it has
# finished by keeping it on the bus. Setting this larger allows clients to query
# the transaction without accessing the database, but increases memory usage.
#
# default=5
TransactionKeepFinishedTimeout=5

# If certain operations should be done using IDLE bandwidth
#
# TCP Low Priority is a congestion control algorithm included in the kernel.
# Connections using this algorithm will use only idle bandwidth. In other words,
# it is a self-tuning TCP stack. Setting this to FALSE will mean that the check
# for updates happens more quickly, at the expense of other network applications
# such as firefox and other file downloaders.
#
# If the user is running the network at 100% for extended periods of time, then
# the update check may be starved and take a very long time to complete. In this
# rare case, this setting should be set to FALSE.
#
# By also setting this setting to TRUE makes the possibility of a environment
# mismatch much higher for a spawned backend. This will make switching from idle
# operations (such as GetUpdates) and full speed operations (such as
# InstallPackages) take longer. If this is a concern, then set this to FALSE.
#
# default=true
UseIdleBandwidth=true

# Processes that cannot be updated when they are running
#
# Some processes do not cope well when they are upgraded when the binary is
# running. These include things like firefox, where updating causes the original
# instance to misbehave as some components are not locked in memory.
#
# Applications can be added here that do not cope well with being updated.
#
# NOTE: you should not list applications here that the user has no permission
# or cannot shutdown without the session exploding. For instance, listing
# /sbin/dbus-daemon or /usr/sbin/haldaemon would be a really bad idea.
#
# Seporate entries can be seporated with the ';' character.
#
# default=/usr/lib*/*/firefox
NoUpdateProcessList=/usr/lib/*/firefox;/usr/lib/*/iceweasel

# If the backend should use threads to avoid blocking the daemon for other users
#
# The daemon, packagekitd, is shared by multiple users. Users are allowed to
# create and send transactions when other transactions are being processed.
# To do this, the backend action is created in a thread, but some libraries
# notably libdbus and dbus-glib, are less threadsafe then they probably should
# be.
#
# Only developers need to change this value, normally for debugging purposes.
#
# default=true
UseThreadsInBackend=true

# If a custom root should be used when installing packages
#
# A custom route can be used to install to a LTSP instance or a virtual machine
# image, typically using chroot or by mounting an image using virt-inspector.
#
# Additional authentication is required to change the root from the default.
#
# Most users do not need to change this value, as you need to have setup a
# native package database (e.g. the rpmdb) on the new root.
#
# default=/
UseRoot=/

# If background tasks should be cancelled if a foreground one is committed
#
# This allows us to have session agents automatically using PackageKit,
# and for any in-flight requests to be cancelled and automatically
# requeued if a high-priority transaction is added.
#
# This avoids the user waiting for actions such as installing software
# or when getting lists of uninstalled software for BASH when programs
# like gnome-settings-daemon are checking for updates or refreshing the
# cache in the background.
#
# Set this value to be false if transactions cannot be safely or sanely
# cancelled.
#
# default=true
CancelBackgroundTransactions=true
