-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I am currently working on a system to automatically install modules (i.e download and unpack into the appropriate directory) and upgrade modules (i.e. overwrite present files). The architecture is finished: - - A module for the GUI and the actual work (not fully implemented yet) - - A client that provides necessary information to the "GUI and functionality" module (one implementation is nearly finished, it lacks the ability to provide the actual module files) - - A server that serves information (module files, version information etc.) to client (not implemented, because the client does not need a server) My implementation of the client uses a working copy of the HEAD branch of CVS (that's why I don't need a server at the moment), but there are numerous other possibilities: - - CVS (without a working copy) - - XML-RPC - - FTP - - webcvs ... {whatever} I wouldn't have mentioned this effort in this early stage (it's far from alpha) but there are three points I have to make: 1. I wouldn't want us to duplicate code or go into different (a.k.a incompatible) directions. 2. My module would also benefit from more precise information in the .info-files 3. I, too, like to have access to the projects via XML-RPC. So, what do you think? I tried to understand the other posts of this discussion, but they seem to revolve around technical aspects that are not really an issue (at least not at this point of the development (sure, making it into core would be great)).
