Howdy, I'm a relative noob when it comes to understanding IPS and related technologies, but with my work with the Sun Studio team, I realized that some software applications have a 1-many model, with 1 application have many packages. I believe that there is a concept of package clustering/empty packages/etc. that is being used which will evolve into a more mature artifact going forward.
As we think of how we can make it easier for application developers to get up and running, have we reused the concept for creating software bundles? For example, a Java web application developer would want tooling, app server, database server, JDK, scm, build tools, web browser, etc. Can we define and create a larger bundle to allow people to get up and running? Are we doing this today? I have some initial ideas (which need vetting) that I can share if the concept seems worthy. Thanks! /kso PS. If this is not the right place to have this discussion, let me know as well... _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
