Can we build a simple, cross-distribution installation framework?
Today at Fosdem 2011 I did my talk Can we build a simple, cross-distribution installation framework?
Basically, using the Arch Installation Framework as a starting point, along with the notion that most of the code is actually not Arch-specific I adressed other distros to check
if there was any interest in sharing workload on the distribution-agnostic aspects of the framework. If other distros with a similar philosophy of little-abstractions/KISS would join, we would all reap the benefits of a simple, yet quite featureful installer.
There was some interest, so we'll see what happens.
