Hi
I did a quick survey from Fedora on what software Fedora users are using
that is not available in the repo. Here are the results. If you find
anything interesting, feel free to pick it up.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging_Survey_May_2009
root is being reviewed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=451744)
I have no problem with root being packaged, it used to be no small task to
package root so if it is on its way I think that's great.
I just want to relate my first exposure to 'root'. I was a sysadmin in the
physics dept at duke university. I was told one of the workstations in the
High Energy Physics dept was running slowly and asked if I could
check it out.
I login and discover a process running named 'rootd'. I suspend my desire
to freak out a bit and eventually trace it back to a user's homedir where
they've unzipped and built a local copy of cern's root. At this point I
vow a silent oath to get even with whomever named the software 'root' and
go about my day.
That's my story.
:)
