Perhaps I can make a suggestion for the p5p format.
If you make it so that the version somehow easily appear from the
file, with
an HTTP HEAD operation or whatever, and then allow the client side to
store
per-package url information easily, it could be useful for vendors who
have
only 1 or 2 software packages, to more easily offer to their customers an
auto-update capability for IPS packages.
I don't understand how this improves things over either the existing
pkg.depotd, or simple HTTP access to a custom Apache instance as
described above.
If you *have* ability to run your own pkg.depotd, then thats fine and dandy.
But I thought the p5p format was designed to help out people who dont have
that ability easily.
That brings us back to my original question, which I didnt see anyone
directly address:
Is there no longer any plans for oracle, or an affiliated entity, to provide
a more open site, to allow third-party entities a space to host their IPS
packages, in a proper repo?
