As an alternative, can the script search for which Providers are
installed on the system and assume that we should register all installed
Providers? This would tie registration to package installation, rather
than making it a separate operation.
We may want to register things not necessarily backed by a provider (a profile
for example). And for the providers: I need to determine also the right order
of the registrations and the schemas the providers implement.
And yes, I don't think using the registration script outside the rpm
scriptlets should be something usual -- only on very rare occasions should
the user want to manually alter the registrations: still we need to keep this
option.
Assuming we do a registration database,it would also support query
of
the Providers and versions installed?
Yes, we can list the database information.
Should the registration database feed information to OpenSLP?
No. It's the duty of the running CIMOM to advertise its capabilities through
SLP.
