Yes, the APP is certainly the biggest task, probably followed not far behind by the Installation ISO :-/ > 1) no real db-dependencies, if at all possible, by using a common DB-Framework Database agnostic is even better, as long as it does support PostgreSQL one way or another :) The rest of the apps (flyspray, mediawiki etc) are all using PG for their database and I'd really hate to have to be running 2 DBMS packages on the server ;-) > 2) probably we could factor out the SCM (SVN, Git) stuff and put these into > separate modules, so that the application is agnostic of the used SCM (this > is probably a step 2 thing). That sounds like it would be very complicated, but it would definitely help the AL guys use it as AURv2 so if Daniel, or someone else, can work out a way to make it work then even better again! 2009/12/16 Daniel Moree <dmoree at shadowbranch.com>: > I'd be happy to take on the APP.

I have 100mb stream to the net so plenty of bandwidth for now. Let me know the IP address that rsync connections will come from so I can whitelist it to let you pull from the main server. Also the server's physical location, and the URI(s) where the AS tree will be available :-) 2009/12/16 Markus M.
