Agenda

• M5 testing
  • Need to test the changes in the UI, and in general go through the test plan.

• API changes in the fwk
  • Changes in the OSGi API will be happen in early M6. Tom will send a mail on cross-project ML.

• Publisher incubator
  • Pascal asked what was the status of this work. Ian reports that nothing has happened.

• p2 metadata serialization
  • Following the question on the ML to make p2 serializable, Pascal talked to Igor and reports that the real need is given a set of IUs to be able to serialize them to a file. The files does not need to be a repository, and we don't have to have to deal with repository manager.

• Framework hooks and p2
  • Katya explains that she is working on an effort to provision Virgo with p2. Cool!
  • Tom gives an overview on how fwk hooks work (because Pascal did not know).
  • Some things are being mentioned about the RFC 152 on subsystems. We are wondering if there are some ideas in there that can be "reused".
  • Some discussion follow on how to resolve implement that. It seems that the pb can be decomposed. Pascal suggests:
    • Need something that knows how to configure the fwk hooks (something like fwkHooks.info)
    • Need touchpoint action that knows how to deal with fwkHooks.info
    • Need a metadata layer that knows how to reason about several profiles (in order to allow for things that are conflicting to be installed together)
  • Tom and Pascal expressed an interest in talking with the Virgo guys. Krassi to setup a meeting.
