Wouldn't it be cool to be able to append a teeny little kickstart
postscript, and then end up with a livecd or system that has GE
installed for all users?
http://packages.debian.org/etch/googleearth-package
It doesn't have an open source license so can't be included in Fedora
of course. Which makes it OT for this list IMO.
I suspect this is a point you understand, but for the sake of clarity
I'll highlight-
The "googleearth-package" package/.deb/[theoretical .rpm], absolutely
DOES have an open source license.
What the _tool_ that it _provides_, does, is to generate a
non-open-source rpm from a simple commandline invocation and network access.
Please, it's fine if you don't want to be the one to do this, but from a
legal and open-source perspective, I think that
googleearth-package*.[s]rpm belongs in fedora just as much as the
current .deb belongs in debian.
Yeah, I got the inference. qv. the script that downloads restricted
content on the Fedora Games DVD. So why don't we package a script that
configures the nvidia binary driver?
Well I don't know why you couldn't, but I think what livna is doing in this area
is a superior solution anyway.
