Hi, I've been developing a web interface for wpkg.
Our site (university of waterloo) has 3,500 PCs on our active directory, so the possibility of using manually edited XML files just wasn't acceptable - because: - the possibility of XML editing errors - the lack of concurrent access by multiple administrators - the need for atomic changes But I commend you on the good choice of using XML to allow future developments like this. The web interface ties back to PHP/MySQL, and so XML is generated by PHP from the database as needed. I'll probably end up caching the XML files until new administrator changes force it to be flushed and regenerated. Basic web pages now exist to allow user input and generate hosts.xml and profiles.xml. The harder part is making the user interface for packages.xml - so I'm working on that now. My pages aren't ready for production today, but I figured I should announce that someone is doing this.
