Hotfix support

Question

Hotfix support

Closed this issue 8 years ago · 11 comments

It would be nice if this module could also support the installation of hotfixes/packages during startup/installation by putting copying the hotfix zip files into the /crx-quickstart/install folder.

The list of files to copy into that folder could be provided in the aem::instance { 'aem' : } declaration.

What do you think?

I am all for this! Currently I'm working on supporting OSGi configurations as part of the pre-initialization process (putting the properties file in the ./install folder). I will look into this next.

However instead of providing the files as a list, i am thinking a custom defines/resource type, that way you can manage where the files come from. For example sourcing the file, you can supply:

file() type resource
packageshare keyword which requires Adobe ID Username/Password to lookup and d/l the file

Thoughts?

That sounds good to me. How is your progress on this?

Maybe the issue name should be changed to something like 'pre-initialization instal support'?

I'm wrapping up two other features. I think i'll have this done in the next week or two. I'm going to add it to the next release feature set though.

Hi,

We need this functionality.
Do you have any code done for this?
Maybe a base we can build onto...?

Answer 5 · 2016-11-21T16:37:35.000Z

No work has been done on this yet.

Answer 6 · 2016-11-21T17:41:00.000Z

I suppose i can start coding on this using the existing types/providers as examples and using rest endpoint /crx/packmgr/service.jsp, /crx/packmgr/service/.json and /crx/packmgr/service/console.html

This will come out with 3.0, but i do not have a project timeline on that at the moment.

Answer 8 · 2016-11-21T18:10:27.000Z

Your comment suggests you have something near completion...
Should i just wait for that?
If you have nothing yet, do you object to accepting PR's?

Answer 9 · 2016-11-22T01:04:53.000Z

I'll accept PRs, but the design for 3.0 will differ significantly from the current implementation; so it may not mesh with the planned changes. Hate for there to be wasted work.

Re: near completion? No, unfortunately not.

Answer 10 · 2016-11-22T05:09:03.000Z

In what way 'different'?
If you let me know, my work may not be 'wasted'.

I'm adding support for this for 2.4; the architectural changes for 3.0 will start to take effect with this feature. Those changes are to extract API calls from the providers into gems. To that end i have started the work on those gems. The one for this feature is here.
