Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Is this a bug: right after creating pkg in APM, key is not known but should be

Jim,

I believe creating a package via APM is consistent with retrieving packages from other locations, such as via CVS. Creating the package via APM creates the files and directories that are the framework for the package.

The next steps are:

2. "install" the package, which requires a server restart.

3. "mount" package in site-map (depending on package)

Separating the processes in this way allows multiple packages to be created with only one server restart, and helps to keep package generation consistent, since there is only one process for installing packages instead of two.

cheers,

Torben
