Release notes 

 * Implements an XML-RPC client for querying a driver database, as specified on this year's LinuxFoundation Collaboration Summit. There is no server implementation for this yet, though.

 * Add general support for third-party repositories and packages not yet known to the local system. In the course of this, the functionality of DriverPackageHandler became merged into the generic Handler class, and ModulePackageHandler became obsolete (KernelModuleHandler now does all of this). This made the code a bit shorter and easier, too.

 * Lots of bug fixes.

 * Add support for python-coverage in the test suite, and add a lot of missing tests.

        installation in XML-RPC cases

        * jockey/handlers.py,
        * tests/handlers.py: [292] fix Handler to work with package
        repositories

        * jockey/oslib.py,
        * tests/sandbox.py: [291] add OSLib.repository_enabled() and tests in
        sandbox

        * tests/handlers.py: [290] tests/handlers.py: use
        TestOSLib.reset_packages()

        * jockey/oslib.py,
        * tests/sandbox.py: [289] add add/remove_repository() interface and
        sandbox items/tests

        * tests/handlers.py: [288] tests/handlers.py: do not use internal
        fake_pkg

        * jockey/detection.py,
        * jockey/handlers.py,
        * jockey/xorg_driver.py,
        * tests/handlers.py: [287] drop DriverPackageHandler, functionality is
        in Handler now; this made ModulePackageHandler obsolete as well

        * tests/detection.py: [286] tests/detection.py: fix expected output,

        installed)

2008-04-28 Martin Pitt <email address hidden>

        * jockey/ui.py: [284] jockey/ui.py, --check-composite: Re-check the
        system after attempting to enable the driver, and only signal success
        (exit with 0) if the driver was actually enabled. Otherwise,
        cancelling installation would invalidly signal success to the caller.
        (LP: #208026)

        * jockey/oslib.py: [283] OSLib.open_app(): Wait until the subprocess
        returned, so that we can check the system state afterwards.
