In both cases, we (=OpenLMI) would /probably/ provide the code. Makes a lot of sense, yes. I'm not sure why we'd want to solve separately a part of the problem as small as mount/fstab maintenance. > BTW, for fstab manipulation I am thinking about augeas-python.

For Fedora at least, anaconda already includes libxml2 and python-libxml2, so the installer impact doesn't sound like too big a deal. And augeas is likely to be needed by something like blivet at some point in any case. --Stephen _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
