I'd like to poll folks opinions about the possibilities that we may have when it comes to integrating third party solvers in Pulp. My yesterday's chat with the #fedora-modularity folks about us integrating the Fus[1] solver in order to reuse the Fus algorithm ran into a couple of bumps: * it would be laborous to create a programmatic Python API between Fus and Pulp because we can't directly use the libsolv thingies (pools, solvables and friends) in such an API because Fus is written utilizing GObject, which is incompatible with Swig, which in turn is used in libsolv to expose the python bindings. One would have to either re-wrap libsolv code in Fus to work with pygobject or submit PRs against libsolv to support GObject introspection. I dunno the details of either approach (yet) but from the sad faces on the IRC and the Fus PR[1] it seemed like a lot of work but it's still an option * we still should be able to integrate thru a pipe into Fus, that would make it possible to dump modular and ursine metadata into Fus to perform the dependency solving in a separate subprocess. We should probably re-check the reasons behind our previous decision not to do the same with DNF[2].How is Integration with Fus via pipe (CLI) easier than with gobject? Either way, you "can't directly use the libsolv thingies (pools, solvables and friends)". Right? What am I missing?Right, a publish-like operation would be required every time, for all repositories involved in the copy to dump the metadata to the pipe(s); sample of this interface is can be found in Pungi: https://pagure.io/pungi/blob/master/f/pungi/wrappers/fus.py the "query" is passed thru command line. I just learnt Fedora will keep modules and their ursine deps in separate repos, so the source repo won't necessarily be closed on dependencies thus multiple source repos would be needed.
This be done using the Fus gobject interface as well?
* we should be able to extend current libsolv solver in Pulp, reimplementing the algorithm from Fus. This might be as laborous as the first option. It would probably give us more flexibility as well as more room for screwing things up but the responsibility would be ours alone. Please let me know what option seems more appealing to you; other option suggestion are welcome too.
