Hi Tobias,

Yes, you can let your users cancel an install by calling the InstallMgr::terminate() method.  I have just now commented this method better so its purpose is more clear.  My apologies, Jaak, for not having this commented better for you.

Hi,

Is there a way to abort a module installation via the SWORD API?
I saw in InstallMgr::installModule that there is some handling for when the user aborted the process. But it doesn't seem like this is controlled via the API.

One typical use case would be that the user's download speed is currently slower then acceptable (whether due to internet issues or server issues). In this case, instead of waiting "forever" one may want to abort a download/installation.

Also, another question in the same context: Is it possible to configure a custom timeout for the download of modules? What happens if a repository server goes down? I remember one time when the Xiphos repo was not available, waiting times seemed to be too long in the frontend (based on long default timeouts in SWORD?).

Best regards,
Tobias
