Personally I'm not sure why something like this is bothered to be packaged, and I wonder what the size of the user base that you mention is. There is no build. The installation process is beyond simple: untar, then configure a DB and web server.
You forgot the first two steps: find where the tarball is on the interet, and download it. So that's 5 steps vs. 3, and your approach no longer sounds so attractive.
With a package, the install process is install package, then configure a DB and web server.
Then think about updates. With a proper package, this can be automated and controlled. With your approach, it's all manual, or most likely never done, or not in a timely manner. Every piece of software on a system should be a package. I can't believe anyone is arguing against that. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
