There's a big difference.
Er, no, there's not. That's *exactly* what I mean by "ugly-step-child". The current project attitude is "we test desktop mode, and if web mode works, well, that's a happy accident." I'm not going to recommend pgadmin-for-web to anyone under those circumstances. And *of course* the majority of users use desktop mode, given that web mode doesn't work out of the box, and sometimes doesn't work at all. > As such, I'm done.

Here's how to make it easier: don't require steps. Really. If someone installs pgadmin-for-web using RPMs or Debs, it should Just Work. The changes in the tickets I filed will make that happen for the RPMs, except that you rejected them as WONTFIX. Part of the problem there is that the pgadmin-for-web RPM spec really needs to be completely separate from pgadmin-for-desktop. > There are a bunch of pgAdmin containers on > Docker Hub available, few, if any of which were setup with the help of > our mailing lists, so it's presumably not that hard to do. Either that > or the Docker guys have thicker skins than the Project Atomic guys :-) That's because docker hub is the "wild west" where people are willing to hack whatever toghether whether or not it's maintainable or updated. For the Fedora & CentOS projects, there's requirements that builds have to be 100% reproduceable, which most of the time means RPMs. My goal was to make pgadmin-for-web available officially on Fedora & CentOS, and that's what I'm giving up on. -- Josh Berkus Containers & Databases Oh My!
