Hey everyone,
I was going to ask a quick opinion question to the team, I am a windows guy,
and am running couchdb on win 2k8 server.
I have taken a few minutes and hacked together a basic service in .net that
move running the couch out of user land. I found that on 2k8 the .net 3
service ran better than the 2.0 service I started with so I am using that right
now personally the code should work in either version of .net.
Essentially I run a service that executes the .bat file that Mark Hammond
wrote. It is at present neither pretty to install or tied to a gui of any type
I wanted to discuss two things
first is any one else doing something similar?
And second would adding a .net dependency to things be a bad idea in
the long term.
In the environment I am using .net 3 is installed in the base image. I talked
to Mark Hammond about this a while ago, and he suggested switching from C# to
C++ so I could use the same dependencies as openssl.
I have not had any time to play with this really since then so prior to doing
any more work I thought I would solicit opinions about the direction I should
be go in.
