No, it's nice. Sure I would like more scripts like that. Everyone wants to be lazy, right?
I guess the only thing holding back is that lots of times the canned build isn't quite what I need... so I have to tweek the script... and while it's not a big deal if you're comfortable with scripting, there's more and more admins who aren't. (note this viewpoint could be just a sign that I've officially gotten old and it's only a matter of time before I'm yelling at kids to stay off my lawn.) Also, i think packages and package management systems have played a roll in the waning of these sorts of scripts. I guess time will tell if this is just a fad or what... - M On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 9:59 PM, Richard Baker <[email protected]> wrote: > Why don't more *nix dev's... > Write rolled up install scripts... like the installer for VMware Player... > One .sh file that has all the needed elements rolled up in it uuencoded > directly in the script... > I know *nix users like to "have control" but doesn't it make sense??> or am > I off base... > Sanity Check?? > -- REB > _______________________________________________ > Pauldotcom mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom > Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com > _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com
