Sorry for the tone, Chris. I just have a thing about long magic internet-pulling build and install scripts. They have to be pitch-perfect or in general they are worse than useless.
I am often dreaming of a software environment that essentially had ZERO choice as to where everything (of any version) could be found on the net (it would be found by conventional name+version using something that used google search to find one, then checksum verified) and then ZERO choice as to where everything must be placed on your local file system by the automated install/build system. And all the default parameter settings of every library and framework must work with all others in some "reasonable default" mode. These conventions would result in virtually ZERO config hassles. There is so much software out there today, which we are trying to make work together. These much stricter standards for finding and placing software will be needed to stave off chaos. i.e. Simplify the build system by making the standards more authoritarian. This applies to standard packages that come with an OS all the way up to specific frameworks like Turbogears. Oh well, I also dream of world peace and intact rainforests.
