Hi, I think this is a great idea and will help developers and shops that depend on these tools. Of course the key issue I see is supportability. A lot of developers like to see the latest and greatest versions of these tools. However, that must be tempered with the requirement of stability and security. So QA testing will be paramount to making this a realistic project.
FYI, I noticed that postgres is now under /usr/postgres. It would be great to see mysql follow the same rule. Having /usr/apache, /usr/perl5, /usr/postgres, /usr/java, /usr/gnu, etc. are great for keeping things organized. So I hope we would do the same for other things such as Ruby, PHP, etc. Octave --- "Jason J. W. Williams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > +1 from Me.
