Hello folk, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am currently working on a tool, a USB-stick, |
| 4 |
to set up a typical freelancers development environment the easy way. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
1.) I want to run it on any computer, --> Win, Lin, Mac. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
So it has to be platform independent. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
2.) I want install it up and running. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
the usual OSS stuff: SVN, Eclipse, Apache, Java, etc. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The auto configuration is the task of my tool. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
3.) Best to do it without root permissions |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
in example in $HOME/workspace/ |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
OK, guess starting Apache requires root privileges. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
4.) A want to versionize also the environment sources (servers) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I want be able to restore any development version |
| 29 |
of a project in it's original runtime environment. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Hope you get the basic ideas. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
My researches brought me to the gentoo prefix. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
* it defines itself as a second level management tool |
| 37 |
* it says it can work on all 3 OSS types |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Do you think gentoo prefix matches my requirements? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Would it give a suitable base for the tool? |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Is is stable enough? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
If it can do the job, I would like to join the team, |
| 48 |
to bring back my efforts into the prefix project. |
