If people take it on, fantastic. I am all for having things work on 2 Distros if people volunteer their time to move things forward. We'll end up with more mature and resilient code. OTOH, the same effort could be used to move things forward in one platform. The XS is quite late, so we'll have 2 versions of an XS that is lacking in what it provides, instead of one version of the XS that is closer to performing what we want. So my hint is: not yet. If you can help, there is plenty of hard problems to help with. It's not the right time for increasing the support surface. > Martin mentioned that there are apparently 6 packages for the Fedora based > XS project, so I need to find those out to port to Ubuntu please :) off the top of my head: ds-backup-server idmgr xs-rsync xs-tools xs-config (nasty, nasty, being cleaned up) a patched up ejabberd git://git.collabora.co.uk/git/user/cassidy/ejabberd-rpm (branch XS) usbmount (the package is ported from Debian, but there are fixes to a bug that hits in debian too - the udev rules are landing in the wrong dir) libpam-sotp Also look at xs-pkgs - bloated metapackage, needs trimming xs-livecd - has other build rules in the kickstart file Look for these in their git repos at http://dev.laptop.org/git -- I'll be happy to merge patches that add a /debian directory with appropriate packaging, and that generally improve portability. ...but I'll note again: XS is currently 20% done. A port to ubuntu will take significant work and lead you to... 20% done. So far 20% done feels like a lot of people screaming about 80% that isn't there yet. Not a place where I want to be in; let's move forward. 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
