Did you mean the user's bundles.txt? As I understand it the profile would
be explicit. It should specify the variability that is allowed and we
should stay within those limits. I am not exactly clear on what we mean by
profile so maybe it is just a definition difference.


Nice document.

All,

I've written up a few notes on the Shared Install and a quick summary of
what Andrew and I will be doing to start an implementation.  Online at:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_Provisioning_Shared_Install

Cheers,
Tim

  Pascal,

  In the case of a shared linux installation, there is the potential that
  what you could describe would work though for other situations such as
  with Maya where the "shared" profile comes from a location other than the
  local file system, this would be a bit simplistic.  For a first pass
  Andrew and I are going to do an implementation that would run the
  reconciler on each launch.  Once we determine the performance impacts of
  doing so, we will then determine if it is worth optimizing the algorithm
  further.  This will allow us to get our feet wet with the provisioning
  code and have something running in hopefully short order.

  I'll go ahead and write up some of the discussions on a Wiki page.

   Tim, Andrew,

   For records, could you guys write a short wiki describing the various
   approaches we talked about to implement shared installs? In a few months
   this will help us remember why/or not we've done what we've done :-)

   Also , following the call, Simon and I had further discussions and
   believe
   a good approach would be:
   - simple configurator reads the user bundles.txt
   - simple configurator reads the shared bundles txt
   - if the shared bundles.txt has changed, only run with its content
   (ignore
   bundles from the user), since it should be a consistent whole (composed
   of
   the agent / reconciler)
   - then run the reconciler on the running profile (we may need another
   operation on the director or something like that). Note here I'm not
   saying
   when it is actually run and this should just be configurable.

   Something like that offers the advantage that
   - we don't need to have another configurator as we had touched on
   previously
   - we should always be able to start something
   - gives flexibility as to when the reconciliation should be done

   HTH,

   PaScaL
