[izpack-devel] IzPack installer and uninstaller evolution...

[Gildas Le-Louarn]

Hello,

 

New member of the list, I use IzPack since six month for a Java based
application deployment. Because I had some particular requirements, I
realized some minor evolution of IzPack.

 

My first constraint is that I need to define some "pack" that shouldn't be
removed during uninstall (in our case the jre). To do so, I update
installation.dtd adding a new "pack" attribute:

 

<!ATTLIST pack uninstall (yes|no) "yes">

 

By default, if attribute isn't defined or set to yes, referenced pack is
uninstalled. If set to false, pack isn't removed during uninstall (except if
uninstaller force option is activated).

 

As a consequence, I need to forbid force uninstall option to final user. To
do so, I update uninstaller parameters as follow:

 

For console uninstaller "-c", no changes. By default, uninstall doesn't
force deletion. If "-f" force uninstall is activated.

 

For frame uninstaller:

- by default, final user see the force deletion checkbox except if "-x"
option is set

- by default, force deletion isn't activated except if "-f" option is set

 

I realize modifications on 3.10.2 revision:
<http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/izpack/izpack-src/tags/3.10.2>
http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/izpack/izpack-src/tags/3.10.2. The patch
file in attachment defines all modifications I have done to realize
presented modifications.

 

Expecting you can integrate my modification in the official release, don't
hesitate to contact me form more information.

 

Cordially.

 

Gildas Le Louarn.
