<method name="SetHints">
<annotation name="org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.Async" value=""/>
<doc:doc>
<doc:description>
<doc:para>
This method allows the calling session to set transaction hints for
the package manager which can change as the transaction runs.
</doc:para>
<doc:para>
This method can be sent before the transaction has been run or
whilst it is running. There is no limit to the number of times this
method can be sent, although some backends may only use the values
that were set before the transaction was started.
</doc:para>
<doc:para>
Each parameter value is optional.
</doc:para>

<arg type="as" name="hints" direction="in">

<doc:summary>
<doc:para>
The values as an array of strings, for example
<doc:tt>['locale=en_GB.utf8','idle=true','interactive=false','cache-age=3600']</doc:tt>.
</doc:para>
<doc:para>
The following parameter values are understood:
</doc:para>
<doc:list>
<doc:item>
<doc:term>locale</doc:term>
<doc:definition>
The locale code, for example <doc:tt>en_GB</doc:tt>.
</doc:definition>
</doc:item>
<doc:item>
<doc:term>background</doc:term>
<doc:definition>
If the method should be executed as a background task, valid
values are <doc:tt>true</doc:tt> and <doc:tt>false</doc:tt>,
and other values will result in an error.
Background tasks are normally treated with a low priority than
regular tasks, and normally only use idle CPU and network.
</doc:definition>
</doc:item>
<doc:item>
<doc:term>interactive</doc:term>
<doc:definition>
If the method can ask interactive questions whilst running,
valid values are <doc:tt>true</doc:tt> and <doc:tt>false</doc:tt>,
and other values will result in an error.
</doc:definition>
</doc:item>
<doc:item>
<doc:term>cache-age</doc:term>
<doc:definition>
This allows the frontend to set how fresh it needs the
metadata used in the transaction.
This allows fine control of the age of the returned results,
but means the frontend probably has to query the updates
check value and pass it this value for <doc:tt>GetUpdates</doc:tt>,
and choose something sane otherwise.
Most interactive clients will set this to <doc:tt>intmax</doc:tt>doc:tt>
which means "never download new metadata, unless required to return results".
Most transactions will not have this value set.
</doc:definition>
</doc:item>
</doc:list>
<doc:para>
Other values will cause a verbose warning in the daemon, but will
not cause the method to fail. This will preserve forward and
backwards compatibility for future API versions.

<doc:para>
If the values strings are prefixed with <doc:tt>category:</doc:tt> then
the request is treated as a 'category search', for example:
<doc:tt>category:web-development</doc:tt>.
Note: the old nomenclature for a 'category search' suggested
using a <doc:tt>@</doc:tt> prefix for the values options.
This is still supported, and backends should continue to support
category searches like <doc:tt>@web-development</doc:tt>.
</doc:para>
<doc:para>
If the values strings are prefixed with <doc:tt>repo:</doc:tt> then
the request is treated as a 'repository search', for example:
<doc:tt>repo:fedora-debuginfo</doc:tt>.
In this instance all packages that were either installed
from, or can be installed from the <doc:tt>fedora-debuginfo</doc:tt>

If updating, as packages are updated then emit them to the screen.
This allows a summary to be presented after the transaction.

This identifier is of the form <doc:tt>name;version;arch;data</doc:tt>
in a single string and is meant to represent a single package
unique across all local and remote data stores.
</doc:para>
<doc:para>
For a remote, not-installed package the data field should
be set as the repository identifier or repository name.
</doc:para>
<doc:para>
The data field for an installed package must be prefixed
with <doc:tt>installed</doc:tt> as this is used to identify
which packages are installable or installed in the client
tools.
</doc:para>
<doc:para>
As a special extension, if the package manager is able to
track which repository a package was originally installed
from, then the data field can be set to
<doc:tt>installed:REPO-NAME</doc:tt> which allows the
frontend client to advise the user of the package origin.
</doc:para>
<doc:para>
The data field for a non-installed local package must be
<doc:tt>local</doc:tt> as this signifies a repository name is
not available and that package resides locally on the
client system rather than in any specific repository.

<doc:para>
This signal is emitted when a transaction is not possible due to a missing security

Some backends support repositories which use a cryptographic
signature, such as GPG. If a package cannot be installed

this signal is generated so the user can choose to accept or
decline the key.
