Of course +1 From: Thorsten Ziehm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [qa-dev] Proposal : tar.gz packages for Linux as default for CWS builds Date: Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:27:01 +0200

Isn't this a valid format on Linux to exchange CWS builds > between community members? > > The Proposal : > The default format for CWS builds on Linux should be tar.gz (instead of > RPM). It should still be possible to create install sets as RPM or DEB > or both. > > The benefit : > - could be installed on Linux distros with RPM or DEB package management > systems (only untar the files) > - easy to remove > (only delete the directory/files) This is really good :) > The negative aspects : > - no system integration > - no testing of the Java Setup > - perhaps some automated installation tooling has to be adapted :) -- Nakata Maho http://accc.riken.jp/maho/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
