Come on, folks, even though this thread has gone on just today it's gone on |
| 8 |
long enough... |

Gentoo isn't LSB, nor will it be. That much is a fact. |

To think that LSB will solve the problems of "maintainers of heterogenous |
| 13 |
networks" is a clear indication that you haven't really read what LSB |
| 14 |
actually is or means. |

What the original poster is going to find out is that a) gentoo does not |
| 17 |
support LSB and that b) gentoo is not alone. |

This will leave them with the choice of limiting their tool to only LSB |
| 20 |
compliant distros or doing what the rest of the folks are and that's |
| 21 |
developing the code base to release onto the end nodes that will be managed. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Personally I'd opt for the latter, but then I don't have any say in what their |
| 24 |
choice will be. |
