Detailed Description

Represents an active action group.

An action group is a group of actions that are currently being performed. While an active group is active, certain routine clean-up actions that would normally be performed after every cache operation are delayed until the action group is completed. This is necessary primarily to avoid inefficiencies when modifying a large number of packages at once.

This class represents an active action group. Creating an instance will create an action group; destroying one will destroy the corresponding action group.

The following operations are suppressed by this class:

Note
This can be used in the future to easily accumulate atomic actions for undo or to display "what apt did anyway"; e.g., change the counter of how many action groups are active to a std::set of pointers to them and use those to store information about what happened in a group in the group.
