What value does this bring to systems that have a good package system
and up-to-date repositories? I can install Postgres today on Ubuntu
using a GUI tool, and install another GUI tool to configure and
adminsiter it.
You can install, but what if you need different configure options than
the package provides? This means a rebuild of the package. Instead, we
will build and install that package via the installer.
OTOH, exluding Synaptic that I hate to use, FC / RH does not have a GUI
RPM interface for the repositories. So our installer will help them a
lot. Also, our installer will have an option to download and install the
prebuilt binaries from PostgreSQL FTP site (and possible other sites)
And pull down/build/install the various extensions on pgFoundry? :)
