Re: [Tiki-devel] Packages and Fitness Check not working

Thank you Mike, hello all,

I think there might be a missunderstanding.

I was not looking to get some webprinting running on a specific webhost 
or Tiki website, but realised that there seems to be a general problem 
with Tiki Packages - causing WSOD - what should be fixed or figured out.

The trick of Packages is that we can aswell install incompatibly 
licenced liraries as also install awesome stuff on shared hosting.
The problem is, that without Packages being available, the awesome stuff 
is not available.

Do I am missing something and if yes what?

Regards,
Torsten
