'gear deploy' possible with REST API?

[vnugent]

I find deploying using gear deployment descriptor [*] a really powerful feature. It it possible to do that with rest api? I don't see it mentioned anywhere in the docs.

[*] gear deploy deployment/fixtures/simple_deploy.json localhost

It's not - the gear code could certainly do it, although the intent of the local version is to talk to remote agents. As OpenShift 3 ramps up though we intend to make that portable and possible.
