That might be an overstatement. This is software to help install and configure other software, so it doesn't make sense if it has a complex installation procedure. Of course, installing using pip from an URL is a simple installation procedure, so I could go for that. > * Keep the packaging in the main source Git repo > > The RPM packaging or the Python (pip/poetry packaging)? > The RPM packaging.

Thanks! I might for the moment make something pip-installable from a URL, so I have something "useful" as soon as possible, and postpone RPM packaging to after that. Thanks! Álex
