I thought formulas was about making it easy and simple for folks to try out software from fedora and to start developing using fedora. Essentially, to make it easy to try out fedora for the use case where we matter - as a server or a devel platform. I based my thoughts on my conversations with Kevin (who suggested formulas to begin with). So I don't think I'm out in left field here. If that's not what formulas is then I'll just walk away from this list and formulas and do the stuff I care about on my own. > (For a server-oriented GUI around this, you could consider something > like http://bitnami.org/stacks). was really hoping for opensourceness but <shrug> So to make sure I understand you - you're saying b/c bitnami exists we shouldn't bother working on anything like this for fedora? great... -sv _______________________________________________ formulas-devel mailing list formulas-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/formulas-devel
