Product View
All of our package oriented target deployment system lack a Product View. This has been recognized already some while, when we switched to native installers, and lead to the Java Installer, basically offering a Product View similar to MS Windows "Add or Remove Programs" approach.
To establish a Product View, we need to now
- which parts of a particular are already installed, and
- which parts are additionally available.
Repository Support
To integrate into deployment systems using external repositories for updating / maintaining a system, we need to be able to
- add a repository (e.g. repository.openoffice.org) during installation, respectively to
- remove a repository during de-installation.
