I really liked it, but the upstream developers were resistant to patches, and horrible at communicating. I believe they may have finally rejected that patch mentioned in the wiki due to claiming Mongrel was breaking RFCs (which is entirely possible). > > I like choice, but I think it would be great if we could have a > favored option, for people who didn't want to do the research. > > Right now that seems to be Apache+Passenger, but not saying we > couldn't change that later. > > (and if perchance jruby is easier to use from distro packages and > meets requirements, more power to it? or no?) > > --Michael > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-us...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > > -- nigel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
