Hi,
I am pleased by reading that SharePoint 2019 will have support for extensions (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/general-development/sharepoint-2019-development-plat...).
But, does anyone know if it will be possible to have a farm-scoped solution deployment ? I'm thinking about something similar to the tenant-scoped solution deployment in SP Online - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/tenant-scoped-deployment)
Kind regards,
Oliver Lopez

@Juan Carlos González Martín , thank you for your response.
I did some research and found that Vesa wrote that SP2019 would "have 1.4 version as a starting point" https://twitter.com/vesajuvonen/status/1004093918286352386
Then I found that the property "skipFeatureDeployment: true" to be able to perform a tenant-scoped deployment was already available at least from SPFx 1.2 (august - sept 2017). https://www.sharepointnutsandbolts.com/2017/09/manage-tenant-scoped-spfx-extensions.html
My question is if this property will work in SP 2019.
What I want is to provision site collections and be able to associate extensions without having to manually add the solution to the site collection.
Do you know how (or with whom to speak) to get an official response?
It would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Juan Carlos,
I got an answer from Vesa via Twitter yesterday (https://twitter.com/vesajuvonen/status/1004093918286352386). About "farm"-scoped deployment he says "That's the intention". So it is not a direct "Yes", but we may be lucky. He says that the SP2019 dev model will be discussed during this week community call.
Juan Carlos, your approach would also work for me, but I am mostly worried about when it will be possible.
Kind regards,
Oliver
