I think Rahul answered this already. I'll also note that this is not a
kadishchi specific list (or at least that's my impression) and several
people have asked me to specifically post my work here.
Yes. In fact, I hounded David relentlessly for a couple of weeks to
publicize his work here, because I think it's excellent.
It's natural to be skeptical of new code, but bear these facts in mind:
1. PRIORITY.
Kadischi is heavily reliant upon Anaconda. Anaconda's functionally is a
large superset of Kadischi's. Anaconda also has significant *business*
pressures on its roadmap. Kadischi patches are, therefore, low priority
for Anaconda developers.
Pilgrim, on the other hand, performs *extremely* similar tasks for OLPC.
OLPC must be imaged very simply, and very uniformly. A Live CD/Live DVD
is the same.
2. INSTALL FUNCTIONALITY.
If there's one place where Ubuntu has an *actual* lead on us, it's in
their ability to install a Live CD directly to a system. From what I've
seen, we're closer to closing that gap with Pilgrim than we are with
Kadischi.
Interesting question; does Ubuntu's LiveCD allow a user to upgrade a
currently hard-disk-installed Ubuntu to the Ubuntu version that's booted
from the LiveCD, like you would do a clean install? Or do they punt
that functionality?
Dan
They punt it currently.
