# rpm-plugin-dbus-announce(8)

DBus plugin for the RPM Package Manager

## NAME

rpm-plugin-dbus-announce - DBus plugin for the RPM Package Manager

## Description

The plugin writes basic information about rpm transactions to the system dbus - like packages installed or removed. Other programs can subscribe to the signals to be notified of the packages on the system change.

## DBus Signals

Sends **StartTransaction** and **EndTransaction** messages from the **/org/rpm/Transaction** object with the **org.rpm.Transaction** interface.

The signal passes the DB cookie as a string and the transaction id as an unsigned 32 bit integer.

## Configuration

There are currently no options for this plugin in particular. See [**rpm-plugins**(8)](/rpm-plugins/8.md) on how to control plugins in general.
