Well, maybe. If we're going to make discover do init scripts, or something like that, then I want to make sure we are thorough about it. For example, in your data, you put the scripts under "linux". Does that mean that we won't support BSD? Or will the scripts be so different that they need to be kept separate? Also, will the names of the scripts be different under different Linux distributions? This doesn't mean that you can't start using your data. Look in the documentation for creating a complete data set and for how to tell discover to use it. If you can't figure this out, let us know on the list and someone (probably me) will write something up. I'm filing this as a wishlist bug against discover, so we don't forget about it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
