Interface IPlanner

public interface IPlanner

Planners are responsible for determining what should be done to a given profile to reshape it as requested. That is, given the current state of a profile, a description of the desired changes to that profile and metadata describing the available installable units, a planner produces a concrete plan that lists the exact steps that the engine should perform.
