Angelo,
Thanks again very much for looking at this.
As it may be easier for us to maintain, can you rework your patch to
make "bsd-port" directory under root? I'm thinking we could keep
the
tweaked Makefiles, setup.py, init-scripts, and other
BSD packaging items there -- and func could be built into CD'ing into
that directory.
cd bsd-port
make # etc
I'm thinking that may be easier to maintain as we don't have to be as
concerned with cross-distro support in the Makefiles, and you could
effectively maintain the port of all the scripts. I do not expect
they
would change that much.

I am having trouble with that tarball link also. Thanks for
pointing
this out...
Meanwhile, you can just checkout from git ... ( git clone
git://git.fedoraproject.org/git/hosted/func ).
It would probably make sense to do a release in the next few weeks
so we
can look at uploading new tarballs then.

Yeah, I think maintaining a seperate bsd-ports directory and
keeping the
RPM there might work just as well. Do you mind making a patch
modification that does this?
I'd do it myself but I can't confirm the BSD stuff is correct :)

Above comments aside, this is a good idea -- and if you find any
other
RH-isms in the python code (i.e. requirement on smolt for
hardware.py),
let us know. I think all of us have an interest
in seeing this usuable in cross-OS installations, so this is goodness.
Having the BSD port available would be fantastic.
If you can tweak your patch to create a bsd directory full of setup
files, versus modifying the ones we have, I'll definitely check it
in. Sound ok?
Thanks!

Hi,
sorry, wasn't online for a few days...
I think on the short term one patch that cleans the RH-ism and add one
that adds the BSD stuff will be easy to produce and maintain. Doesn't
look to me the cleanest way to do so but I do agree this is the
quickest and less intrusive way right now.
I will put together the patches and try to produce sth working.
Thanks!
Any chances with the tar.gz available online? This might help a lot. I
can still work on a local web server but this will work only for me.
Git doesn't look really a solution to me since add a dependency from
another versioning system to install func seems a bit heavy to me and
will probably discourage the most of the users (don't want to start a
flame on cvs-svn-git!).
Ports needs that to provide a way to download it, right. No problem.
I'll see about re-uploading the tarball. Trac might have corrupted
it or otherwise screwed it up somehow.
Thanks,
Angelo
