+1 for pretty much all the reasons Jason listed. We have so much to accomplish that we don't need to spend any more time reinventing the wheel with tasking and gofer (both of which still have a number of outstanding tasks and neither of which are so ingrained in our stuff that it'd be catastrophic to replace now). Not to mention the stability gains of using a 3rd party project that's got a lot more time under its belt developing/testing this sort of stuff than we do. I definitely think we should do some investigation into this before we proceed too much further down the tasking and gofer paths. > > > _______________________________________________ > Pulp-list mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pulp-list - -- Jay Dobies RHCE# 805008743336126 Freenode: jdob http://pulpproject.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNNhGgAAoJEOMmcTqOSQHCal0H+wdeMGx0iNEo5vgsCVpH0C+w 8wl4gsfKWCg14+VNHAKQfd0+AWv9x3hruJgE4gCYEQdp7tEjruvA2o1RCx8OjDfC pmsrmET537P9ELE60pnX/+MJzcWqsiPsYo5spcRYTORDbc8LbIkUoUDOJxPazTDW ZpL26uHn1gVMekPWfNvxI2UBQ53vsYLPGKzTPsrh9Nn182uD5nMC5RJTKtLnKrnF 4M+BAGcyZhNn3a2e1qnOl4aaPB1Oe1yBAjNzqxfe0vTyoW68+EvKkwH0JEqxDufh RYtZ7O3lJWJPhbMoagqxDbqysKakozzQGw8HQQzcQHAPD5PC5wxYGpteVJwIUW8= =stIR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Pulp-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pulp-list
