I've takent he go ahead and compiled the static PHP binary necessary for processing system configuraiton steps. While this was supposed to be Effigy's job, I'm making the assumption that he's not going to be doing much in terms of Gecko Development. I'm having a few issues at the moment getting MySQL to run correctly on the hosting DB server that we'll use to design the database. Once I get that done I'm going to begin doing database design. The rc.wrapper script should be done by the end of next week as I'm working on that at LinuxWorld. The rc.wrapper script obviously depends on the database design, so in the mean time I'll be doing some of the DB design on paper using tables in a word processor. This is just so I can get an idea of what information will have to be read by the rc.wrapper script and where it will be read from. With the exception of the syvinit code, the system should be in a semi-bootable state by February. In order to test this I'm going to simply use a standard svinit and hack up the inittab so that our mysql daemon gets run and such. Until the sqlfsd is done (and by that requirement sqlfs) we'll have nothing to start there. However, since those are used ONLY for traditional filesystem support we shouldn't need them to boot, as the PHP scripts rip the information right form the database. Project Manager, Matthew Sahagian
