== Detailed Description ==
Since multiple homeviews landed in Sugar 100, it would be nice to enable user-space updates to the homeviews.
This requires a new dbus service. The idea is that Sugar activities, e.g., [[Activities/ShareFavorites]], could share favorites without requiring a reboot. So, for example, a teacher could share a desktop specific to a lesson plan.
== Benefit to Sugar ==
More ways to share configuration information in the classroom or among buddies w/o requiring a reboot.
== Scope ==
In jarabe/view/service.py
@dbus.service.method(_DBUS_SHELL_IFACE,
in_signature='ssb', out_signature='')
def SetBundleFavorite(self, bundle_id, version, favorite):
bundleregistry.get_registry().set_bundle_favorite(
bundle_id, version, favorite)
== How To Test ==
Maximum instances:
# Find an activity with maximum_participants set to > 1.
# Try to join more than maximum_participants and observe an alert
== User Experience ==
The direct impact on the user will be that they don't have to reboot when receiving favorites from buddies.
== Dependencies ==
No new dependencies
== Contingency Plan ==
None.
== Documentation ==
== Release Notes ==
== Comments and Discussion ==
