Pungi is inherently a complicated thing, because it's a tool for doing a whole bunch of different tasks for two rather different distributions. There's a limit to how much we can unilaterally mess around with this stuff (because we're sharing a tool with RHEL, here) and a limit to how much we can simplify it, I think. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
