The consensus was to add a subsection 17.x (Appendix A - Rationale for Design Choices) documenting how we see this working without defining/requiring a particular file format. The following is my proposed text for this subsection:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><blockquote style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; border: medium none; padding: 0px;" class=""><div class="">17.4 Executable Resources</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This specification defines two types of executable resources: firmware ('executable-firmware') and application software ('executable-software'). While no specific file format has been mandated, an executable resource file:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">- Provides a manifest providing descriptive text, version number(s), subunit or other associations, and a cryptographic hash of the executable content,</div><div class="">- Provides a cryptographic signature of the metadata, and</div><div class="">- Contains the executable content.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">When subunit firmware is installed (or queued for installation on the next restart of the System), it applies to all compatible subunits. For example, if a System contains multiple fold finishers and an Administrator installs new fold finisher firmware, all of the fold finishers are updated - there is no way to selectively upgrade a single subunit.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">When application software is installed, it typically applies to the System and all of its Printers. However, this specification does not prohibit applications that need to be subsequently allocated to a Printer, for example a cloud-based PDF interpreter application could be installed and later allocated to a specific Printer.</div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Please provide your feedback before the next IPP workgroup conference call on October 24, 2019 so that we can start a PWG Formal Vote to span the November face-to-face meeting.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">________________________</div><div class=""><div class="">Michael Sweet<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""></div></div>_______________________________________________<br class="">ipp mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:ipp@pwg.org" target="_blank" class="">ipp@pwg.org</a><br class=""><a href="https://www.pwg.org/mailman/listinfo/ipp" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">https://www.pwg.org/mailman/listinfo/ipp</a><br class=""></blockquote></div><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; float: none; display: inline !important;" class="">_______________________________________________</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; float: none; display: inline !important;" class="">ipp mailing list</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><a href="mailto:ipp@pwg.org" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class="">ipp@pwg.org</a><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><a href="https://www.pwg.org/mailman/listinfo/ipp" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class="">https://www.pwg.org/mailman/listinfo/ipp</a></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></body></html>
