Great news. Please let me draw up a base agenda - I do want to outline where we stand with the XS and what the plans challenges and timeframes going forward are. > I see the key purpose of this meeting is to let you folks what > additional functionality we are working on for Nepal's XS If we are having a regular XS meeting, I also have to consider what we are doing targetting all our other deployments, some of them with thousands of servers :-) > and to make > sure that our additions don't conflict w/ future changes to the > underlying XS. That's a tricky one. What you guys are doing is not particularly recommended unless you have just a small number of server plus deep linux expertise on tap long term.

I've worked a bit with it, and while usually the repos hosted in it have content that is _gold_, I don't think the sw itself adds any value on the XS. cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
