Istria:
Another question then (I'm really going deeper in my understanding
of Oomph, so sorry if those question seem too basic).
The strategy of Oomph is recording a sequence of changes
(preference, installation...). However, I'm wondering in the case
of bootstrapping or customizing an application, whereas this
sequence is actually useful. What does it provide over only
polling the "current" state and recomputing the profile from
scratch? Instead of recording, we can imagine an "Export profile"
action that would ask p2 which IUs have been installed, export the
main preferences, export the existing SCM repositories
definition... Is history of installation really important, or does
only the result/snapshot count?
I tend to believe that only the snapshot counts, and that instead
of a recorder, a "simple" crawler would be satisfying.
Personally I would never want to miss the automatic recording of my
changes anymore. But I image we can make this all more flexible.
This should be discussed on separate bugzillas then.
Cheers
