APS - how does it work in ISPConfig

[DKLeader]

Hi,

Trying to add applications to my ISPConfig installation.
Found them at http://www.apsstandard.org/

Or have I misunderstood something from the manual in 4.9.4 :

4.9.4 Software
Under Software you can define ISPConfig application repositories, install ISPConfig application
packages (such as phpMyAdmin) and install updates of such packages, if available.

ISPConfig does not support aps.

The manual refers to ispconfig addons and apps which and not APS. APS is a technology from plesk / SWSoft.

Sorry Till, but I am totally confused now.
Found this one :

and from your reply on that it seems that the plan was for the use of aps in 3.0.3.

That was the plan, but unfortunately we didn't find the time (yet) to do it...

It will not be based on apsstandard. We reviewed their docs and decided to not use the system from swsoft as it is unnescessarily complex and there are no free libraries under BSD licence available. Beside that, most packages available there are outdated. The installer will be included in ISPConfig 3.0.5.

apsstandard have a big package base. which standard would you use instead? how can i help to speed up the process. 3.0.5 will be released approx mid 2012?

We are using a simplified xml based installer description format. I expect that 3.0.5 will be released earlier, as 3.0.4 will be released in about 2 months. If you like to support the ISPConfig development, you might consider to buy a howtoforge subscription.
