Description Benjamin Muskalla

Due to the cleanup of local marketplaces, we don't have the information anymore which url points to a valid marketplace. As marketplaces are retrieved on wizard start, the DnD ignores dropped links.

My suggestions is to fire up the wizard in any case (if mpc_install is present) and handle if we have a proper marketplace for this.

Suggested solution. We now pass a descriptor hint into the marketplace wizard to resolve it later on in the lifecycle. While it would make most sense to implement the hint as another flavor of the descriptor, I too much like the idea of having the descriptor being final.

Here is the proposal. It essentially replaces the catalog descriptor with a hint descriptor and resolves it later.

The proposed patch was commited to master for M7. We still should think about if there is a cleaner solution for this.

I think we're done here.
