20090063634 | OPEN CUSTOMER DATABASE FOR USE BY THIRD PARTIES - Embodiments of the present teachings provide for standardized post installation configuration of a software application. For Linux-based applications, a portal service provides a Red Hat Packet Manager (“RPM”) package that includes selected software to be installed on a user's computing device, post-install configurator, and a post install configuration file (“PIC”). The post-install configurator accesses the PIC file and performs post-installation configuration based on the contents of the PIC file. The PIC file thus provides a standardized mechanism in which software vendors can specify post-installation configuration of their applications, without having to develop their own tools or applications. | 03-05-2009 |
