Modified commands to make them more consistent with AI manifests.
Two questions about the consistency aspect:
- Why "create-profile" when manifests use "add-manifest"?
This is consistent with the proposed changes to installadm commands
(add-manifest is also changing to create-manifest). The rationale, as
explained
by Frank, is that the object being added doesn't already exist in the
installadm
world and therefore needs to be "created" rather than "added". An
email with the
set of proposed changes will be sent out shortly.
Would one of you please elaborate on the answer to my question below:
- What's the sequence to overwrite an existing profile with an
updated version
of itself; is it just "create-profile" or is there a delete followed
by create?
as I didn't see this answered in a quick skim of your other email.
Like with manifests, trying to create another profile whose name already
exists for that service should fail.
Right now, that doesn't happen for add-manifest, at least for a default
manifest. That's why I asked.
It seems something we forgot to include is update-manifest (and
update-profile for profiles), as this is what's proposed in section
5.3.4 from the derived manifests design.
5.3.4 Additional manifest management commands
To provide a means to subsequently update the actual manifest files that
have already been published, we introduce two new subcommands.
'export-manifest' will output a copy of the specified manifest to
stdout, or to a file if the -o option is specified. 'update-manifest'
will republish a manifest leaving any already set criteria for that
manifest untouched.
Does that answer your question?
It does as far as manifests, anyway :-) I think a useful exercise at
this point would be to publish a proposed new man page for
review/discussion.
