− | This page lays out milestone plans for the development of the [[Equinox Provisioning]] system (p2) in Eclipse 3.4.
| + | #REDIRECT [[Equinox/p2/Plan]] |
− | | + | |
− | == Plan ==
| + | |
− | === M1 - August 2, 2007 ===
| + | |
− | Goals:
| + | |
− | * Operations supported: install, uninstall, update, rollback.
| + | |
− | * Self provisioning from a small download of the agent
| + | |
− | * The agent runs in process
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Details:
| + | |
− | * Director / metadata:
| + | |
− | ** Implement groups and selectors
| + | |
− | ** Define constraints descriptors
| + | |
− | ** Refine how fragments are being attached
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Engine:
| + | |
− | ** Define new phases and operations.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * UI:
| + | |
− | ** Browse what's installed in a profile
| + | |
− | ** Invoke operations
| + | |
− | ** Browse a repository
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * First run integration: ability to ship metadata / artifact repo / profile with eclipse
| + | |
− | * Investigate shared install problems
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === M2 - September 21, 2007 ===
| + | |
− | Goals:
| + | |
− | * Updating the running profile (self update with a reasonable UI)
| + | |
− | * Support for update / rollback in the director
| + | |
− | * Support for transaction in the engine
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Details:
| + | |
− | * Director / metadata:
| + | |
− | ** Implement groups and selectors
| + | |
− | ** Refine and implement constraints descriptors
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Engine:
| + | |
− | ** Support for transaction
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * UI:
| + | |
− | ** End user UI to install and update
| + | |
− | ** Presentation of metadata repo content to the user
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Misc
| + | |
− | ** Move to ECF 1.0.2
| + | |
− | ** Support for relative paths
| + | |
− | ** Review the usage of framework admin:
| + | |
− | *** How are we using it?
| + | |
− | *** Why do we use it, what does it bring?
| + | |
− | ** Discover the JRE being used to run
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Shared install:
| + | |
− | ** Initial implementation
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Repository:
| + | |
− | ** Support for filtering content presented to the user
| + | |
− | ** Make the artifact repository writable and have support for post-processing
| + | |
− | ** Have an artifact repository implementation to read update sites
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === M3 - November 2, 2007 ===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Perform rename of bundles and packages to the new name: p2. Updating wiki pages and other documents accordingly
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | === M4 - December 14, 2007 ===
| + | |
− | === M5 - February 8, 2008 ===
