But that is (sorry to write that): Bullshit. The source of Gusterfs is not small at all. Regarding installing source vs RPM: Well... I install EVERYTHING from source (except if it is a closed source application). But I would never install from source if I would use a system that has RPM as their packaging system. Then I would still build RPMS and install RPMS. It's not difficult to make GlusterFS RPMS. Anyway... if you install everything from source by using "./configure ; make ; make install" then you probably have a ultra low amount of systems that you need to take care of (try doing that thing on many systems and still keep track what you have installed and what not). I would never ever pollute a system with "./configure ; make ; make install". There is a reason for packaging systems (RPM, DEB and friends). I use btw Gentoo Linux and installing from source is part of the idea behind Gentoo Linux. > -- > Regards, > Stephan > Steve > PS: yes, I know it's the user-list. > > > On Wed, 24 Mar 2010 17:14:32 +0000 > Ian Rogers <ian.rogers at contactclean.com> wrote: > > > > > I've just done part one of a writeup of my EC2 gluster LAMP installation > > at > > http://www.sirgroane.net/2010/03/distributed-file-system-on-amazon-ec2/ > > - may or may not be useful to you :-) > > > > Ian > > > > On 24/03/2010 17:09, Oliver Hoffmann wrote: > > > Yes, that's an idea.
