I would go in between. Package installs are (designed to be) much easier
than source installs, and could be a great help to those just starting with
Midgard. So, although this involves a lot more work, why not go:
Installing RPM:
- on RedHat
- ManDrake
- Suse
Installing on Debian: (vote for best news this week: Alexanders post on
MySQL going GPL)
- .......
Installing from Source.
Provided we get the packaging and documentation right, a lot of people who
are now scared away by the installation trouble, would get to actually try
Midgard, not just the installation. Downside would be that the number of
questions 'Will it run on <[os]>' will increase. So I think a visible
statement of platforms that are know/reported to compile would be in order.
