I think a wide diversity of development environments is useful; it helps prevent platform and distro specific from sneaking in, and development environments tend to be a personal preference. Developing on Ubuntu server, RHEL, CentOS, or SLES are all viable development options, as well as Fedora and OpenSUSE. But its also requires some awareness of what the final deployment platform will support. The deployment environment is a different situation, and the number of supported platforms has to be more limited. In an ideal world, we should be able to target any platform from any environment, but the real world is different, especially as we move toward a crowbar 'install' that uses native packaging. I think that means we'll be in the same-makes-same / same-makes-similar neighborhood, at least for packaging. mike _______________________________________________ Crowbar mailing list Crowbar@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/crowbar For more information: http://crowbar.github.com/
