A rethinking of the upload/download process, really. Releasealiases that are not substrs of the release can not and should not be included in the upload packages because they are intended to be managed per-site (eg. the efs/core/dev and efs/core/prod releasealiases and their ilk fall into this category). But realistically, what potential newcomers to EFS do you envision? In 3 years since this product has been available, NOONE has shown any serious interest in it outside of the two firms that run this infrastructure already (my current employer and yours -- noone else cares). I suspect the return on the investment for additional streamlining of this bootstrap process is minimal. I'd suggest simply documenting a workaround for the missing releasealiases, perhaps by documenting the steps necessary to build up the compiler environment. I just built all of this from source so I didn't encounter this issue, and I don't expect to build out the internal EFS 3 environment where I'll be downloading these binaries for at least a few weeks. Once I get around to that, I'll be able to walk through the same issues you are, and perhaps I'll find a simple way to automate it. Or not -- it's an effort that done so extremely rarely, that making it a few manual steps isn't really all that bad. _______________________________________________ EFS-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.openefs.org/mailman/listinfo/efs-dev
