I thought I'd try using this > as something to learn with. I've developed automatical GNOME workstation build system (scripts for building GNOME packages, and generating self configuring GNOME CD). First release was done about month ago. Now all this stuff needs testing. The command line interface for this is as simple as: # sh install-gnome.sh install - installs (and builds some) packages # sh install-gnome.sh configure all - configures many things, which are not done by ports It is now capable of automatically installing and configuring GNOME software + OpenOffice + some tools on clean FreeBSD-5.2.1 machine. I'll inform the list when I translate project docs into English and check licensing issues (Russian webpage for the project already exists). --=20 regards, Sergey Akifyev <http://asa.gascom.ru>; JSC Gascom <http://www.gascom.ru>; PGP key available from: ftp://ftp.gascom.ru/pub/PGP-keys/asa.txt --=-66JAX8pU9x38urvhWDkh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBWmb4bu06QwmNwNsRAseiAJ9Y90a7WiPRJ/J34y1BphenZp0zpgCfbCnu EE7FfW4QYp/tJLQ+RT1d+d8= =OMtN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-66JAX8pU9x38urvhWDkh--
