Silly question I know, but I was wondering what Lorax is these days? I
know it as a codename for an old RHL release, though evidently it has
another meaning I am not too sure about?
The current lorax is an effort to replace the scripts/ subdirectory in the
anaconda source with something more maintainable and easier to use by those in
release engineering. The current pile-o-scripts is called "buildinstall" (or
the buildinstall mess...)
I started it a while ago, but due to lack of time, turned it over to Martin
Gracik so he could finish it up. Martin has versions building working trees
now, but I think we are still not quite to the point of it being able to
completely replace the buildinstall scripts.
The project lives here:
https://fedorahosted.org/lorax/
I used the name 'lorax' when I started the project because I didn't want yet
another thing in the distribution named "py" something or SomethingKit. I
just referenced the Dr. Suess book and in the README file I put:
I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees [and images].
That's me trying to be clever. See, trees means two things. I crack myself
up.
Unrelated... a friend of mine once wrote a log rotation script that ran via
cron. He named it 'beaver'. I asked why and he said because it deals with
logs. I asked where the old logs went and he said, "/var/log/dam".
