Hello, We're actually working on an asset management project for a french administration. We use with OCS-Inventory[1] to get hardware and software inventory from the computers. GLPI[2] is the asset manager. We use them to follow the license stock and the hardware status of an import amount of machines. Both work very well and now we want to improve the system by adding software deployment for the Windows workstation. After looking at different solutions, we found that wpkg seems to be the most suitable alternative for our needs (light and powerful).
Unfortunatly, because we use GLPI as standard interface we can't use wpkg_web. That's why we'll probably need to write a GLPI plugin instead. We are already in touch with GLPI developers (one of our team member is a SVN commiter) and in order to respect there wishes, we need to do very modular interface to allow to plug others deployments systems (OCS-Inventory, yum, apt-get/aptitude, ...). Before begining to write it, we are still waiting for an acknowlegment of our managers but, today, wpkg covers needs at 99%. There is just tow thing we want to contribute: *After an installation we need to have the status returned by wpkg to report it in the interface. Do you think it possible to do an HTTP POST of a well formated XML status file the end of the process? *We actually use rsync to publish the packages on the differents mirrors and we want to be able to validate the packages with a checksum. We can create a home made script for that, but we think this information should be suitable for an inclusion directly in the XML, and then be validated by the wpkg script before the installation. We are strongly commited to share as much code as possible with wpkg_web. Do you think it is possible to work on a PHP library in common for that? We notified the Jabber page on linuxkidd.com.
