Come on, folks, even though this thread has gone on just today it's gone on long enough... Gentoo isn't LSB, nor will it be. That much is a fact. To think that LSB will solve the problems of "maintainers of heterogenous networks" is a clear indication that you haven't really read what LSB actually is or means. What the original poster is going to find out is that a) gentoo does not support LSB and that b) gentoo is not alone. This will leave them with the choice of limiting their tool to only LSB compliant distros or doing what the rest of the folks are and that's developing the code base to release onto the end nodes that will be managed. Personally I'd opt for the latter, but then I don't have any say in what their choice will be. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
