Robert Munteanu commented on JCRVLT-61:
---------------------------------------
A solution that comes into mind is to establish an absolute ordering for the
packages. This can for instance be a numeric value - ranking - attached to a
package, and the packages are processed in natural order of their rankings -
smaller values first. This will at least make the processing consistent.
Absolute ordering is not without pitfalls - e.g. what happens when two packages
have the same ranking? Or what happens when you want to process your entries
between package A ( ranking = 1 ) and package B (ranking = 2 )? So this needs
more thought.
I have considered relative ordering ( package A installed after package B ) but
I think this is not going to be maintainable in the long run - packages come
and go, are refactored, etc. Also, ordering at the ACE level will not be
maintainable either as there are simply too many entries to consider.
Another thought is to separate ACE setup into phases:
- system
- application
- demo
etc
Each package could declare ACEs as belonging to a phase, which allows more
fine-grained control over what gets setup when. It's basically a rehash of the
absolute ordering idea, with predefined phases and allowing a package to
contribute to more phases. It has the advantage of being more intuitive, but
less flexible if you need more phases than what we allow.

> Reporter: Tobias Bocanegra
>
> the current packaging only allows to specify the AccessControllHandling per
> package. if one requires different behaviors for different content trees, the
> only workaround today is to create sub-packages.
> it would be nice if the ac-control handling can be defined by workspace
> filter root, similar to the iImportMode - or even tie the
> AccessControllHandling to the ImportMode.
