Hi,

Echoing Jens's comment: it'd be nice to have more traditional and OS-friendly 
way to install neko and its components. We should have rpm and debian packages 
I believe. We have them already for Fedora and Debian (correct?), but tora is 
missing there, so I vote for it to be added more or less the way Jens suggests. 
Haxelib is great for development, but no so nice for configuring the production 
servers: for instance, when there is a security fix for mysql client applied, 
you normally want to propagate that into neko-mysql which requires a rpm/debian 
package with dependencies and all of it, and haxelib is not of much help here.

Just my 2 cents.. 

Mike

OK.

I was just thinking: If I were to convince a Service Provider that she
should allow me to run Tora on one of her machines, it would be far
easier if I could tell her to just do

   sudo aptittude install libapache2_mod_tora
   sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

With haxelib one will have to install haXe download, compile, etc. to
build Tora for her.

Cheers,

A. Because it breaks the logical sequence of discussion.
Q. Why is top posting bad?
