Hi Lasantha, I'm hoping that it would be possible to automate installing carbon core and also automate installing features.
My hope is that features would be able to coexist on the same carbon core platform without interfering with each other. It should be up to the administrator to decide which features to install together, for example to install AS and BPS should be as simple as: $ apt-get install wso2-as wso2-bps The distribution's standard locations should be used, e.g. /etc/wso2/as/... for configuration files, and /var/log for log files.
