- INVITATION TO JOIN IEEE POSIX
- P1003.7.2 Software Administration (Install)
- MOCK BALLOT GROUP
-
- The POSIX System Administration Working Group (P1003.7) has been
- developing the POSIX software administration interface, P1003.7.2.
- This standard describes the requirements for software administration,
- i.e. the functions surrounding local and remote software installation.
-
- The draft standard is based on the Hewlett-Packard Software
- Distribution Utilities, with substantial modification and extensions.
- The function included in this draft includes a standard format for
- distribution media and a set of commands to create, copy, install, and
- list the contents of the media. Also included are commands to list
- and to remove all or portions of the installed software. All of these
- commands are specified to work for both local and networked
- installations.
-
- P1003.7 will be conducting a Mock Ballot of the P1003.7.2 draft
- starting 1 March 1993 and running through 31 March 1993. The purpose
- of this non-binding, unofficial ballot is to seek feedback on this
- work from interested parties and to prepare for the formal ballot
- tentatively scheduled to begin early in 1994.
-
- The PostScript files that comprise the draft will be made available
- via anonymous ftp. If you require a hard copy of the draft, we will
- try to have it in the mail during the week before the start of mock
- ballot.
-
- While we would appreciate extensive comments, a simple yes vote, or a
- no vote with an explanation about why this is not an acceptable
- direction, would be very helpful.
-
- Please provide me with the information in the registration form below
- by 15 February 1993 should you wish to join the mock ballot group.
- Those who reply will be notified as soon as the draft is available and
- provided with information on how to supply ballot comments.
