Re: [equinox-dev] Initial Provisioning name and how it relates to Equinox Provisioning
|
As you mentionned, the initial provisioning serves a general purpose of
provisioning a management agent (aka a provisioning system) solving here a
bootstrapping issue, whereas the equinox provisioning work aims at defining
a so called management agent. Therefore they are complementary and in the
end a user putting together a system should be able to use both in concert.

AM name and how it relates to
Equinox Provisioning
Please respond to
Equinox

mailing list
<equinox-dev@ecli
pse.org>
The name org.eclipse.equinox.prov.initial seems like a good option. Naming
discussions can go on forever and are so easy to contribute an opinion to
;-)
For now the code was released under org.eclipse.equinox.ip to make
progress. Discussions in the previous thread make it clear that
org.eclipse.equinox.ip will likely not keep before graduating the code.
Jeff, if we rename to org.eclipse.equinox.prov.initial does that imply the
initial provisioning implementation will interact with the new provisioning
work? How do we see these two relating to each other? Initial
provisioning should be able to provision any management agent (e.g. New
Equinox Provisioning, OBR, old Eclipse Update Manager etc.). I do not
think Initial Provisioning implementation should depend on the Equinox
provisioning work. Thoughts?

Comments on various comments...
- "provisioning" is a non-starter... There is a whole Equinox provisioning
effort underway and if anything is going to be "provisioning" that will
(note that currently "prov" is used).
- For better or worse we have adopted a convention of having BSN's
correspond to the "major package name" (or vice versa if you prefer) in the
bundle. Or, if you prefer, the major package name and BSN correspond to
the project name. Or... The point is, there is a convention already in
use and we should only deviate from that with good cause.
- Alex's questions re the "initial" in "initial provisioning" actually
raised in my mind a different option for the naming of this bundle. We
have some provisioning (aka "prov") work going on in Equinox. We could
relate the initial provisioning implementation to that by using the name
org.eclipse.equinox.prov.initial
Note that there is a non-trivial chance that "prov" will be renamed before
getting out of the incubator but that's pretty much par for the course and
the initial provisioning bundle could/would get renamed at the same time.
Just a thought.

<equinox-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx> Prosyst contributions
The only reference to 'initial' is in the title of the chapter. The
document talks about *provisioning*, not initial provisioning. Initial
is merely an adjective used to describe the provisioning itself.
See, for example, 110.4 where it discusses 'The Provisioning Service'.
Also note that all the constants begin with PROVISIONING_ and indeed,
the classes that make it up are in org.osgi.service.provisioning.
There's no 'initial' about it. In fact, the only initials that have
been used with respect to provisioning have been 'I.P.'.
The fact that it's the first Provisioning Service to be consulted
shouldn't be part of the name. It's merely an adjective used to
describe it.
In any case, I was just observing that the OSGi spec used
'provisioning' almost exclusively in terms of the package, class and
constant names in the description, yet it seems that the Equinox names
are being based on the chapter title. Either way, I don't care;
anything is better than 'ip'. Though frankly, I don't see why
'org.eclipse.equinox. provisioning' providing
'org.osgi.service.provisioning' is such a bad idea.
