Thanks for your comments, and I'll work on the BO issue ;-) |

The XAMPP distribution, at http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html, |
| 9 |
is comprehensive as it coordinates the installation of apache, mysql, perl, |
| 10 |
and php as a connected system. All of the various configuration files are |
| 11 |
structured so that all of the pieces interact with each other, a step that |
| 12 |
we would otherwise need to do as manual processes. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The included web application, the primary piece that would be grabbed from |
| 15 |
the project, modified, and included in GAMPP, includes a number of pages |
| 16 |
which display all of the functional components installed as part of XAMPP, |
| 17 |
such as the image building and PDF building components and links to the |
| 18 |
installed web apps that are part of XAMPP (webalizer, phpMyAdmin, and |
| 19 |
phpSQLiteAdmin). |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
So I guess GAMPP for the most part would act like kde-meta in that it pulls |
| 22 |
all of the disparate pieces together into a single deployment package. It |
| 23 |
then adds the web app that can be used to test the final installation. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
To quote the XAMPP site: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and |
| 28 |
Perl. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use - just download, |
| 29 |
extract and start. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
The goals of GAMPP would be similar yet apply to the gentoo world and |
| 32 |
conform to the gentoo way of handling the installations. |
