RE: [provisioning-dev] What is the status on the provisioningprojects?

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

At least the last three items on your
list are of interest in the equinox provisioning work.  I believe
the Buckminster project is interested in touching on provisioning of workspaces
and preferences. It sounds like you want to keep track of the work in at
least Maya, Buckminster, and Equinox provisioning.  A useful link
for more info on the wiki:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Category:Provisioning

Also, discussion on the equinox provisioning
is happening in the equinox-dev mailing list. You may want to browse the
archive and/or subscribe to keep out to date.

Hi Pascal,

I have a general interest in provisioning. We have quite some
(customer and internal) requests for enhancements of installations. 
For example:

- being able to roll out an installation to the desk of many
  developers (probably covered by Maya)
- updating an installation of many developes in a coordinated
  way (Maya)
- pushing preference settings to developers without overriding
  their settings (is centralized preference management covered 
  by any of the provisioning projects?)
- disallow users to update installed feaures using the update 
  managers
- revert a customized installation back to the officially supported
  version(s)
- install non osgi based features
- ...
