Hi Mike and all,

I'm starting to dig into creating the next draft of IPP Firmware Update Extensions v1.0 so that I can have a draft completed for review at the F2F and also hopefully have my prototype updated as well. I was reviewing what we have in the wiki:

https://github.com/istopwg/ippsample/wiki/Firmware-Updates#second-revision<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/istopwg/ippsample/wiki/Firmware-Updates*second-revision__;Iw!!Iq1d47XejX0!j3ABAHUW_JDGEgEex4CvS4uve-A1UTy99bZAXxSjaA329jXa0S3zY_gcOsVJCx8ffvyYHg0Zo2jSdjc$>

The one thing that bothers me a little is the keyword structures. What has currently been proposed:

'firmware-update-acquiring'
'firmware-update-acquisition-failed'
'firmware-update-validating'
'firmware-update-validation-failed'
'firmware-update-installing'
'firmware-update-installation-failed'
'firmware-update-activating'
'firmware-update-activation-failed'

We changed from 'firmware-update-<PHASE>-in-progress' to 'firmware-update-<PHASE>ing'. This model seems a bit awkward because the "<PHASE>" substring of "<PHASE>ing" differs from the "<PHASE>" substring in "<PHASE>-failed". At the end of the day I don't actually care that much which one we choose but I want to try to avoid another round of string modifications. So should we have the above? Or should we have this?

'firmware-update-acquisition-failed'
'firmware-update-acquisition-in-progress'
'firmware-update-validation-failed'
'firmware-update-validation-in-progress'
'firmware-update-installation-failed'
'firmware-update-installation-in-progress'
'firmware-update-activation-failed'
'firmware-update-activation-in-progress'

WDYT?

Smith
