Description Timothy Webb CLA 2007-12-18 15:53:38 EST 
Currently the Maynstall data model understands Software objects associated to Profiles.  The Software object can have different types, though the only interesting type for resolution we currently associate to profiles is FEATURE.  We need to update the data model to allow software of type IU to be associated to profiles.  The underlying storage should switch to be all IU based, though we may want to support having the profiles still point to FEATURE type entities to help resolution.

The server when it responds to requests for a profile will need to supply to the client the list of artifact IDs that were associated to the profile as well as the metadata and artifact repositories that will be needed by the client to resolve the software.  This will allow the Maynstall code on the client side to automatically handle provisioning of the software without requiring user intervention.
