== NDG Software Packaging ==

NDG intends to provide a large number of python software packages, each of which will be individually installable (although there will be between package dependencies).
 * How do we intend to allow people to deal with pick-n-mix dependencies? (As opposed to external package dependencies) (see ticket:494)

Between package dependencies will be simplified for three main bundles of software:

==== The NDG-Discovery Bundle ====

Intended only for deployment of the NDG discovery web service and a gateway.

  * discoveryWebService
  * packages: ndg.utils ndg.discovery ndg.browse

==== Full Data Provider Server Bundle ====

This is intended to be deployed by the NDG participants primarily, and we wont feel obligated to
make it completely trivial to install.  

  * securityServer
  * securityApplicationClient
  * csml
  * bbftp server and client
  * browse
  * dxServer and Client
  * geosplat server and client
  * loggingWebService
  * util
  * existWebService
  * packages: ndg.utils ndg.csml ndg.delivery ndg.browse ndg.dx ndg.geosplat ndg.security ndg.cdat-lite 
    * with client and server sub packages where appropriate, and vcs and cdms sub packages under cdat lite ...

==== NDG-Lite Bundle for application developers and scripters ====

This package is intended to be deployable by individuals or research groups and needs to be very easy to deploy.

  * securityApplicationClient
  * bbftp
  * commandLine dx
  * csml
  * packages: ndg.utils ndg.csml ndg.dx.client ndg.security.client ndg.delivery.client ndg.geosplat.client ndg.cdat-lite
