[Tapper-pm-devel] package format

[Jason K. <jas...@gm...>]

I think we should use a source-based package format, and compile it on 
each system, sort of like gentoo's portage. If this package manager 
won't be tied to any one distro, it would be a major headache to compile 
binaries for each and every platform. It'll need some sort of config 
file put into the tarball, to specify different things.

Personally, I prefer to follow the Linux Kernel 
Documentation/CodingStyle rather than the GNU, but I will work with 
either it doesn't really matter. I think it's best to have some kind of 
coding style guidelines.

If we carefully plan and split up tasks in tapperd by function, and 
individually work on the functions, then I think working on together 
would be fine. CVS seems like a little bit overkill, but we could use it 
I guess... though I'd prefer not.

Just my initial thoughts,
