Project plan

Assumptions for revision 1

Multi images, not 2 in the one place

User Privilges:
For revision 1 only root user will be able to add/remove/upgrade packages.
Categorization & Pakage Images:
Lack of categorization mechanizm in IPS. GUI package with categorization, descriptions and package images will be delivered. Will support, Category View and Package Display Images beside Name Coloumn. Will use categories suggested by Jenya (see below).
File Conflicts:
GUI will use IPS mechanizm for handling file conflicts. If current version of IPS doesn't support handling those, than will overwrite files with the same path for different packages [IPS limitation].
Authority:
No explicit Authority support for signed repositories/ packages.
UI Frozen:
UI expect only small tweaks after revision 1.
FRMI:
Installed/ Latest Version, will only be useful in revision 1 if the packages on http://pkg.opensolaris.org can be made to conform to the IPS spec, see man -s 5 pkg. Otherwise the same version will be listed for all packages.
authority:version:build version:branch version (man -s 5 pkg)
Multiply repositories:
User will not be able to have two repositories in one path. This includes default path.
User will see packages only from one repository at time. Switching functionality will be implemented.
