Current Fix Information Structure

Current Fix Information Structure

• Fix Information
• Specified in lieu of Version
• Provided name and type

Fix Information Structure

• Issue 1
• Does not contain addition fix information
• Proposal
• Extend the Fix Information. Note Still working
  the specific content
• Issue 2
• Some fixes (updates) contain a list of fixes.
  These updates carry the same information about
  the fixes they include, e.g. J2SE 5.0 Update 9
• Previous pattern was to aggregate a set of
  InstallableUnits that all pointed to the same
  Artifact.
• Proposal (see next slide)
• Fixes can be delivered as interim fixes or
  included in an update. Both are delivery
  mechanisms. The InstallableUnit structure should
  not vary.
• Provide a FixInformation structure (see next
  slide)
• Not a choice with Version
• xsdanyAttribute Extension
• Extend InstallableUnit attribute installType to
  include interimFix as a value

Proposed Fix Information Content

• Work In Progress
• But keeps the basic structure

Version Change

• Issue 1
• Proposed Change at the F2F results in the need to
  specific 2 Version constraints on the same
  resource.
• Multiple constraints can be specified on the same
  resource. However, they can not be in conflict,
  e.g. I need X10, I need X20.
• By definition, 2 Version constraints on the same
  resource is a conflict.
• Proposal
• Rather than the attribute, make Certified an
  optional subset of the Version constraint.
• Now only a single version constraint per resource
