Nothing, that _I_ would call "distro agnostic". Regards, Robert |

I would have to agree, here, as "distro agnostic" suggests that it can be installed and made fully functional on any distro without much effort on the user's part (besides basic configuration and standard compilation if required - ie not having to figure out compilation errors). But it is not possible to do this, because not all the different distros' versions of the invoke-rc.d/service/rc-config scripts, for starting and stopping services, are supported "out-of-the-box", nor are 2.6 kernels which are required by modern distros. All this leads to the conclusion that OSSI is _not_ currently distro-agnostic, but in the future it may become semi-distro-agnostic (there's no way that every distro can be supported by an ootb system sue to the fact that OSSI fundamentally changes the operation of the base distro - eg. customised init system). -- Regards, The Honey Monster aka Daniel Llewellyn |

We all got the question right one way or another because OpenSSI userspace utilities require porting. What I wanted to get to was whether OpenSSI is locked-in to one particular distro and clearly we are not. We have releases for Debian and RedHat distro's. We'll not use "distro agnostic" in the matrix to avoid confusion.
