I'm also interested in getting an EC2 (Amazon's grid computing) image for Catalyst up and running. I've been playing around with it a bit, if there is more of a desire for this let me know.
I'm still trying to come up with some good use cases as to why an EC2 image is worth the work getting there (aside from the fact Catalyst kicks ass, and it should merely be there just because) -J On 10/30/06, Bill Moseley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

But, who is the target of this effort? I thought it was to help get past the often difficult process of installing Catalyst via CPAN. Or is it to get providers, like Dreamhost, to include Catalyst in their offerings to their users? Actually, for Dreamhost it might be more likely for them to offer it as one of their "one-click installs" which would likely be better as a tarball than a deb. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
