Auto update products patches

Key: COMMONS-46
URL: http://wso2.org/jira/browse/COMMONS-46
Project: WSO2 Commons
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Afkham Azeez
Assigned To: Afkham Azeez
Hi folks,
Will it be a good idea for WSAS to periodically check whether patches are
available and issue an alert? We can host the patches on OxygenTank,
http://wso2.org/wsas/2.2/patches/. This directory can have a patches.xml file
which will give some information regarding the patch, as well as the relevant
patches. If the user decides to apply the patch, WSAS can itself download this
patch to the $WSO2WSAS_HOME/lib/patches directory, and ask the user to restart
the server.
The advantage of this approach is that the users do not have to constantly be
in touch with the mailing lists etc. to find out about important patches.
We can follow the same approach for the other products such as WSO2 ESB as well.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Azeez

This is definitely a good suggestion.. however I think its better to
keep such a new feature out from the immediate next releases right now,
and bring it in with the upcoming unification instead?
thanks

+1 for doing this after January releases.
Also, it'll be good to try to do this using an Atom feed as the basic file
format.
Sanjiva.
