[wpkg-users] Reflections on a new application deployment software.

[Olivier LARRIGAUDIERE]

Hello Kevin,

Now it's just an idea :)

But if I'm not the only one interrested and if there are 2 or 3 people 
who have skills (PHP / C++) I think we could think more about the 
concept (structure database, protocol exchange between the service and 
the PHP script, ...) then begin developing.

Regards,

>> - Installed directly as a Windows service (no cscript)
>> - 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

>> Thank you for your feedback and sorry for my bad english.
