Hello Olivier,

Nice idea, will you develop the program for us?

Kind regards.

> - Retrieve the list of the packages to be installed on the computer from
> an HTTP server (a PHP script that queries an LDAP directory to choose a
> database or xml file like Profiles.xml). The description of the packages
> could be an XML file whose format is identical to WPKG.
> - Retrieving of files (installation programs) from an HTTP server
> - Signing packages and files to ensure they have not been altered and
> nobody use this tool to install other software.
> - Sends the installation state through the HTTP server (a PHP script
> that stores information in a DB)
>
> The tool is divided into two parts. The service running on the computer
> and the script in PHP.

> The advantages I see in that new tools would include:
> - Securing the installation packages
> - Access to the installation status of packages in real time on computers
> - Ability to work with LDAP
