Hi,
Obviously much to be considered on this matter; I was thinking a bit about it, so I thought I would send my thoughts.
Thanks, that's great. This is a huge area of problems, but somehow we have to start and I think this is a good starting point.
What about adding this to http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Concepts ?
Done. Feel free to edit/expand.
To actually implement all that, you could write a miniature package manager. [...]
That is - as far as I got knowledge about the bs backend so far - what the bs_worker does. That needs to be ported to Windows somehow, right. The problem is that we have a dependency aware system on linux etc., but not on Windows which complicates the problem a lot. But there must be already solutions to that out there (how, for example are projects like Eclipse or the Apache tools doing that?) - a short search lead me to http://wpkg.org/index.php/Main_Page . I haven't looked into that in detail yet. Any experiences?
WPKG seems to be heavily focussed on centralised adminisatration of machines, rather than providing dependency management to the end-user. It might be a starting point, perhaps.
