 From previous patch SoftwareUpdate is a Resource (class 
SoftwareUpdate(Resource))
And there is no Collection for it.

 From that you should only implement lookup() function.

Also controller will look for a method named softwareupdate_lookup() 
instead of swupdate_lookup()
As you named the Resource as SoftwareUpdate

 From my understanding, you need to have a Collection and Resource.
The Collection will return all packages names to be update and have the 
action "update"

And the Resource will get the package information (name, arch and all 
else you added in API.md)

I'd suggest to change the uri from SoftwareUpdate to PackageUpdate as it 
is all related to packages.

So we will have:

GET /packageupdate
[{name: pkg1, arch: ...}, {name: pkg2, arch:...}, {name: pkg3, arch: ...}]

GET /packageupdate/pkg1
{name: pkg1, arch:...}

POST /packageupdate/update
# do the update in background and return a Task element as the update 
can take long time to be done

The Task element is needed in order to UI know what is happening in 
background and show it to the user
You can check the DebugReports implementation which uses the same mechanism.


Use curl command to test it
curl -u <user:password> -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: 
application/json" http://localhost:8000/<uri>

That way you can make sure the uris are working as expected

The mockmodel is a fake model.
Which means we should not touch the system.
You need to return default values there.

Don't use * in imports

Just a log?
What happen when I try to update the packages with a self._pkg_mnger == 
None ?

We need to expose that info to UI to disable the "Update" button when no 
package manager is recognized.
And also check that info before doing the update to avoid bad REST 
requesters

What is the error when using the yum python binding here?

Royce, add a utility to parse command output.

parse_cmd_output() in src/kimchi/utils.py
It will return a dict for you with the elements you need.
