Title: Re: [equinox-dev] New Update Manager UI: Your Thoughts

A few thoughts on server-side equinox provisioning issues ...

• Equinox would be installed with a list of trusted update sites. (bootstrapped).
• Trusted sites should be able to add more trusted sites.
• A license may not required to be accepted from trusted sites: could be a flag on the site definition.
• Automatic updates could be performed on a schedule from trusted sites, requiring no UI at all.
• Restarts should be avoided whenever possible.
• Sometimes we do not want to update a plug-in/bundle, we want two versions if the same one installed.
  
  • This could possibly be done automagically. If a bundle to be updated has another bundle that depends on its version, then it stays and the new version is also installed.
  • Would need some way to detect what bundles are no longer required. These are bundles that are no longer referenced.
