Hi Pascal, while I share your thoughts I'd like to say something about the topic regadring packaging ... Pascal Bleser <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> wrote:
- packagers: we need more packagers, don't forget that the whole thing is happening around a distribution, made of packages
Obviously I started to create Webmin/Usermin-Packages for openSUSE some time ago, but I stopped developing because it is still too complex for me. Speaking for the developer of Webmin/Usermin (Jamie Cameron) directly I really would like to see Webmin/Usermin getting back into the distribution, but again it's too complex. So why it is too complex for me? I should guess that there is no need for gcc'ing something, because it is just a set of perl scripts to untar, then to sed/awk some stuff and to pack into a rpm. But this is not completely the core. The problem is documentaion which is too complex for me to understand, there is no easy one (or at least I do not find it). I should reach for opensuse-packaging to discuss the details I know, but what I really would like to see is something easy to use because I do not have the time to read into complex things. At least there is no good german advisory available. On will I could whitepaper my thoughts a bit more. bis dahin / kind regards Martin Mewes Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer: Messaging 2003 Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator: Messaging 2003 -- http://www.mewes.tv/ - Homepage http://mbox.mewes.tv/ - Mailinglisten zum Downloaden
