Description Pascal Rapicault

I20080429
When a revert is happening, the dialog is grayed out and no sign of progress is being reported to the user. We should try to have a visual cue that things are happening.

consider for 3.4

bulk update - p2 UI bugs marked 3.4 are now marked 3.4 RC2.  These are substantial enough that if they don't get in for RC2, they shouldn't go in.

given the number of bugs in the UI currently tagged RC2, I'm removing the milestone for some that are not required and would not be justifiable to be fixed after RC2.

My plan here is to follow the same workflow as the other operations for revert.  The revert will run in the background, with progress reported as for other operations.  The user will be prompted to restart afterward (without the option to apply changes).

This also sets us up nicely if we decide to show the revert history in an installation page (bug 216031).

I see now Pascal suggested this very same thing as bug #233069, so it only took 7 months for me to agree with him.

Fixed in HEAD >20090107.
There are two different progress things shown now.

A progress dialog is shown while the revert plan is being computed.  The user can cancel this.  If the plan successfully computes, then a revert operation is started as a background job, which shows the jobs progress monitor the same as any other install/uninstall/update operations.
