Wow, that's great!
Thanks!
Do you think something like this could eventually be used to make
pgFoundry projects more 'CPAN-like'? It'd be nice if you could have a
project that stated 'I rely on pgFoundry projects foo, bar and baz to
function'...
Yes, code to handle dependency hierarchys and subsequent ordered
installations is already done. I'd estimate the download/installation
wizard to be about 2/3rds complete at the moment. We also have plans for
additional packages that would give us a dependency tree to test.
In addition, the design (and the wizard code) has been written with
future cross platform support in mind - it shouldn't take much effort to
add RPM packages for example.
There is a rough project spec on the downloads area of the pgFoundry
site if you want to read more.
