[Piuparts-devel] Bug#640648: TODO item “PackagesDB: get rid of 50% of unique() ”

[Scott Schaefer]

Package: piuparts
Version: 0.41
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Attached patch addresses TODO item in sbuject.

I chose to implement this by using the set type in place of a list and 
unique(),
and then using set.pop() method in place of random.shuffle().

I also modified the class to no longer pass large "package" objects
around, but rather to just pass list/set of package names (since I
was "forced to", since you cannot add a non-hashable object to a
set). This required a new function to return package object, given
name as input.  This required one change to piuparts-report.
