Hello Nadav, About month ago I released first version of daisy system. http://www.skliar.tkos.co.il/daisy/index.html Currently I concentrate on BVM (Bash Virtual Machine), but long term vision is to integrate BVM with DVS (Daisy Versioning Server).
The DVS is more oriented on system administrators and should keep the system's configuration (instead of user's profile). To keep user's profile I am thinking about other project "roamer" that keeps all the user's files on an server on internet and syncs all configuration locally when user need to work locally. All changes user have done are synced back to internet server. The way I see the project would not require "encouraging of application developers to comply to your configuration storage solution". > The Unix approach (and to an even greater degree, the Plan9 approach) has > always been to use the file system to supply name spaces. I am strong believer in one-line configuration files and multiple directories configuration. (see DVS_schema.txt in daisy tarball) > > You need to support locking of several instances reading the same > > configs, possibly a few writing too... and then it starts to look like a > > database. The "roamer" project is going to do locality locking: user is allowed to change all his files when he does "checkout". After "checkin" no file change is allowed. > Nadav Har'El | Monday, Jan 13 2003, 10 Shevat 5763 --- Bye, | Fax: (972)-2-6796453 Arieh | Phone: (972)-6795364 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
