> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-15636
> Project: Ambari
> Issue Type: Epic
> Components: ambari-server
> Reporter: Nate Cole

> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.4.0
>
>
> Use a new concept to install and add repositories: The Version Definition
> File (VDF). The VDF is used to explicitly state what is available in a
> release/repository.
> It is desirable to know exactly what is being installed using Ambari. The
> amount of repository management systems (yum/rpm, zypper/rpm, apt-get etc)
> make it infeasible to allow Ambari to know what is in them. It is up to
> distributions to provide information regarding a release in a friendly manner.
> VDF processing includes defining the release, versions that are available.
> This file is to be written in XML and validated using XSD.
