RE: [equinox-dev] [prov] Auto installing touchpoint

["Schaefer, Doug" <Doug.Schaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think the ideal solution is to add extensiblity for actions. I'd like
to simply add my untar action to the native touchpoint. And maybe in the
future an rpm action, etc, or do some magic encrypted zip files or
something.

I'm not a big incubator kind-a guy so I'll probably wait for the 3.5
stream to open up to work on this. In the meantime I've cloned the
native touchpoint and added the Apache code and my untar action in.

Cheers,
Doug.

We can copy the Apache code and include it in the touchpoint bundle (as
one option).  Either way, I would suggest contributing the tarball code
to the
p2 incubator.  If someone wants/needs to use it or has some time to do
integration then they can do so.

Eventually agents should be able to provision themselves...
