No, it is not. You just have a hard time believing that we don't
embrace it as the "one true way" of doing things. I think the point
most people have been trying to raise is that flash archives, etc. are
a far better way to mass manage and deploy systems than apt-get or yum
repositories. It is especially not a foreign concept for me,
considering I managed and deployed servers using apt4rpm for a few
years.
I don't think that anyone is advocating the use of debs or rpms .....
personally rpms make me break out in hives.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but a flash archive is simply the clone of
a system that you can then easily get up and running. The whole
JumpStart framework is pretty cool, and in my opinion a great feature
but it's completely missing the whole package management boat in my
opinion. How do I use a flash archive to (for lack of a better example)
emulate the functionality of apt-get'ing the latest production version
of my binaries to a set of servers?
