New feature: install processes coming to Mouf

Mon, 04/11/2011 - 10:26 — David

A new feature is coming to Mouf: install processes.
This has been a long awaited feature (yes, at least 2 people requested it :) )

What it means is that a package developer can now trigger a custom install process when its package is installed. And this is great!

It means that most of the work to set up a package can be performed during the install. For instance, a database connection package could set up the connection by asking the user the connection parameters... A package that request an instance to be created could create it directly, etc...

This means packages will be easier to install, and easier to use. And this is good news!
