Re: 5733OPS IBM i Open Source Solutions - besides base, how many options are there?

I would expect the same kind of thing as new Java versions - yes, RSTLICPGM used for each option. That's just the normal way options of a product have been done forever, right? PTFs will be delivered in the HTTP group PTF, it is said in the developerworks sites discussing this - I take that to mean fixes and updates, not new LPO options, but I could be missing something.

New stuff will be announced when ready. I see that Python was mentioned in a public blog as something to be brought under this umbrella. I think John Yeung will be ecstatic!! Now no promises, right?

It IS an exciting prospect, isn't it?

Do we need to RSTLICPGM for every option that currently exists or will future exist?

1) How many options should we have?
2) Will new functionality occur thru PTFs only if the option was previously installed via RSTLICPGM?,
3) or will additional RSTLICPGM need to be done in the future.

From the developer works site I see the following:

Install & Setup Node.js on IBM i
Node.js is packed in 5733OPS - Option 1. Install the product from physical DVD media or image files. This is accomplished using the 'normal' IBM i software install process.
RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5733OPS)
RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5733OPS) DEV(*SAVF) OPTION(1) SAVF(NODEFILE)



I did an "install all" and it installed 15 options. Granted numbers 2-14 are non-existent. but might offer a glimpse in to the future.
