User Visible Terminology

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The Modularity working group is looking to standardize terminology that users use to interact with functionality around modules.  There are some generally accepted terms, but there are also some that have multiple choices for common functions.  Some of the more debated options include:

* version vs stream
* enable vs install vs select

All terms for discussion include:
* List: lists all modules
* List-enabled: lists all enabled modules
* Info: shows detailed information about a module
* Summary: provides a summary
* Enable: enables the latest version and/or release of a module and installs the rpms listed in the default profile
* Install: performs actions to prepare modules to run
* Search: use to search for modules
* Run: run the module
* Disable: disables the module and the modules depending on that module
* Refresh
* Upgrade: updates the module to the latest release but the same version of the module
* Check-upgrade
* Rebase: to switch between major versions of a module
* Check-rebase
* Install profile
* System profile: a config file that lives with the machine
* Select: alternative option to enable or install
* Version
* Stream

Take a few minutes and add terms to this list as new items or alternatives as well as respond with which ones you prefer.  We will take input from everyone until EOD Friday 9/23/16.  At that point, the working group will make some decisions to finalize our terms.
