[Coapp-developers] CO_INSTALL_PROPERTIES.type values

2011-04-12 Thread Garrett Serack
Eric,

I've created an enum for the possible values for CO_INSTALL_PROPERTIES.type 
field (CoApp.Toolkit.Engine.CompositionAction); when you get a chance, can you 
make sure that the values for that field match that:

public enum CompositionAction {
SymlinkFile,
SymlinkFolder,
Shortcut,
}


That'll make sure the Composition Rules parse correctly :D

Re: [Coapp-developers] Ninite

2011-04-12 Thread Garrett Serack
Ninite just puts together a collection of known-working-installers.  They 
pretty much expose the product discovery scenario, and streamline the 
installation but that's pretty much it.

This looks like something we ought to be paying attention to, and have an 
opinion on. I haven't dug into the details yet, having just stumbled across 
this story, but it has some clear similarities to CoApp, and if its part of 
BizSpark then it has some degree of backing from Microsoft:

Re: [Coapp-developers] Simulating Symlinks on Windows XP

2011-04-12 Thread Garrett Serack
I think it's a testament to Wine if CoApp works on it; less so, vice-versa.

I think when we get to CoApp V2 it'll be a bit easier.

I know it sounds crazy at first. Consider though the situation of a 
Windows-only program with dependencies on CoApp packages that someone wants to 
install on Linux. It would be nice if installing that didn't fail.

Again, it's not a particularly pressing issue just something to think about.

 . Entire point of CoApp - running OSS packages natively

Let's see, what is it going to take to run coapp on wine on sfu on windows?

EBYDESIGN?

Re: [Coapp-developers] Superceeding Packages...

2011-04-12 Thread Fredrik Sundqvist
I think it should tell something like You already have a newer version
installed and ask if you want to use the old one as the new “current”.

  Howdy,



 I’m just working on the package composition support right now… If you
 remove a package, and there is a previous version still installed, I’m
 thinking that it becomes the “current” version automatically. I can also
 easily add command-line support to make an arbitrary given version the
 “current” one, regardless of which is the most recent.



 The question is, what should the default behavior be when you install an
 older version when you have a newer on installed? Do I keep the most recent
 as the current unless you specifically state that you want **this specific
 version I’m installing** as the new “current”?

Yeah, that is easy enough to do, and certainly the GUI should be really up 
front about that.
