Hello All, (this may already exist, if so forgive the noise... and then please point me to it :) )
Does it make any sense to have a means for bundles to declare their host repository, and if there is such a "capability" installed in the framework, that the repository be registered automatically with the repo admin? I'm taking as example the Debian feature (I believe it originated in Debian first) that a deb can register it's host repository with the system. From that point, dependencies and updates are automatically detected and handled. For example, when you install the Google Chrome deb (after downloading the binary directly from their site) it registers the Google Chrome repository with the system and from that point you never have to go get updates manually. If such a mechanism could be acted upon early in the installation of a bundle, it could actually provide a place for retrieving any actual dependencies required for the bundle from the host repository. This would be great feature as you could promote a single binary somewhere as a download, which would auto-magically ensure dependencies were met on deploy even without interaction by the user doing the installation. -- *Raymond Augé* <http://www.liferay.com/web/raymond.auge/profile> <http://twitter.com/#!/rotty3000> | Senior Software Architect | *Liferay, Inc.* <http://www.liferay.com> <https://twitter.com/#!/liferay> --- 24-25 October 2012 |* Liferay **Spain Symposium* | liferay.com/spain2012<http://www.liferay.com/spain2012> 16 November 2012 |* Liferay **Italy Symposium* | liferay.com/italy2012<http://www.liferay.com/italy2012>
