After that it gets silly.
So, you're imposing to users to use a single network filesystem that gets as both performance bottleneck and failure point. C00l. And then, your AFS breaks (because shit happens or because intermediate routers our switches fail) down and nobody has any access to any software on AFS outside their local caches, leading to really unpredictable behaviour. Yet another question, as I don't want to use image-based management systems, shall I re-compile openAFS packages on each node (few hundreds), or can I have a way of installing pre-compiled packages? Binary packages (quickpkg, RPM, whatever) is just an intermediate step for large-scale package management. A step that Paludis can provide (if devs want to, of course). The remaining steps are outside Paludis scope. On the other hand, pre-built images work only on offices that can afford to shut down their nodes at night, others don't get that lucky. Please, stop telling users how to run their sites, most of them know what they do. _______________________________________________ paludis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pioto.org/mailman/listinfo/paludis-user
