Jason / Eric,
My $.02 in regards to the SDD installer for COSMOS 1.0
1.
Installer should make pre-req install automagic.
2.
Installer should ensure that all software is installed
in the right sequence.
3.
Installer should ensure that compatible versions of all
software are used. Please note that we will need to identify the series
of compatible version, e.g. based on version number and Milestone-based. Also,
we cannot address EVERY possible permutation and combination of compatible
version; we will need to address just a few realistic combinations.
4.
Installer should allow roll-back to older version of pre-req
software if client wishes to do so (I know this may be tough)
Issues:
1.
The licensing considerations; given that a LOT of
software will come from various sources.
2.
How will the NUMEROUS downloads work as part of a
complete COSMOS deployment?
How do you see this proceed? Do you envision some sort
of a semi-formal requirements definition meeting at some point?
Thanks,
Jimmy
