Description John Arthorne

Currently, users wanting additional function supplied by others must manually acquire and install these additional bundles in their target platform.  This process is tiresome and error-prone.  As an extension to the proposed provisioning work, we will add the ability to provision targets directly from bundle repositories as well as from other locations on the local machine.  As part of this the mechanism by which source is packaged, acquired and looked up will be reviewed and streamlined.

Work related to this part of the description...
   "As part of this the mechanism by which source is packaged, acquired and looked up
    will be reviewed and streamlined."
... has been defered. The remaining work has been marked as committed in the R3.3 plan.
