Re: [p2-dev] certificate prompt in p2

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Currently if the user chooses not to
trust a certificate, the entire install fails. At this point it can't simply
skip the feature because it can't compute what other features/bundles are
also being installed that may depend on the untrusted content. It would
really need to go back to the planner stage and try to compute a new install
plan with the untrusted content removed. Feel free to enter a bug report
for improving this case.

Subject	[p2-dev] certificate prompt in p2

P2 has the intent was to avoid the Update Manager behaviour of having separate
prompts for each feature being installed.  Now, what if I install
a product that contains 2 features and both of them are signed by different
certificates.  When I see the prompt, I only choose to trust one of
the certificates.  What p2 install the feature that are signed the
cert that I chose to trust?  Thanks.
