I made attempts to modularize some of the duct tape when I was working on 1.2 with this in mind but its still a long way off... What you say is very true.. Reason being that there is SO much happening on this system it's almost impossible to completely decouple the app layer. It can be done but I'm affraid it would end up being more of a "process" than the effortless "one click" install solution we have now. Also, it would take OS experts for each target to maintain... Don't get me worng... If anyone wants to take this on once we open up the read-only SVN I'll be more than happy to share all of my lessons learned etc. >Oh, and I really prefer not to pull packages from some other third >party repo if we can avoid it.

To clarify, we might end up sucking a few non-included packages that we verify first into *our* repo from external sources... no pointing roo's yum config to anything other than Honeynet repos... wont happen again! thanks for the feedback... keep it comming! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify Version: Hush 2.5 wkYEARECAAYFAkaEV0cACgkQk7+e+4lPSm3V5gCfYrEgHgzhzrx7nS6NJShEpEIr2/kA n2Xx/VHDD6H5xFtbProN7ihLB2HG =spUW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Honeywall mailing list [email protected] https://public.honeynet.org/mailman/listinfo/honeywall
