Hi Darren,
Very nice and clear spec, I do have a few comments:
- The engine provides the ability to stop/resume. I know that's probably
not a normal use case for the AI application. Is there any plan to
provide that as a private feature somehow for the AI developers or
those debugging AI to save sometime?
It's certainly very likely since I'm sure Matt and myself could use it too,
should I be documenting this in the design, or just in a README?
- Section 3.3: dry-run: will it be supported at all? If so, how?
Forgot about dry-run - certainly if checkpoints support it - but I wonder how
much is feasible in dry-run mode only when doing an install - especially around
the TI stage...
AFAIR some checkpoints (via the Engine) support dry-run, so it should be
possible to use that, shouldn't it?
Still, it's a developer feature rather than end-user, isn't it?
I may look at adding a 'developer' appendix if it's useful - what do you think?
In the JumpStart world, the pfinstall engine was documented so that
users could use it to validate their profiles against various system
configurations. We'd probably want a way to do something like that,
though I'm not wedded to that particular approach.
