installer necessary

I spent two hours attempting to get scarab to even talk to mysql, reading
dozens of websites in the attempt. Then I completely removed scarab from my
system and will not waste further time with it.

I'm a CEO of a small company, and I do not have time to fix broken projects.
From now on, I've just written into our corporate bylaws, under software
mandates, a paragraph prohibiting all employees from installing software
packages that do not have a .deb or .rpm package. We don't have time to
waste on this. I work for 150.00 an hour, and unless you're going to pay me
to develop your software, I have other things to do with my time... one of
which is running a business.

Over the years I've happily used many software that are 0.1 version, or
didn't have good installers, but I've only stuck with those that worked
without a lot of headaches. Firefox is one such software that I still use
because of loyalty and persistent ease of use. Making something difficult to
put into place will absolutely prevent adoption of that system. Scarab? I
still have no idea if I even need or want it, because I've yet to see it,
and now I never will because I've just developed a prejudice against it.
Fair or not, rational or not, when I see "scarab 2.0" in a nice .deb, or in
a box on a shell at best buy, I'm going to pass it by. I have, by that
point, already developed other systems that do what I need *today*.

This is the most time I can waste in directing my attention to scarab, and
I've already blown more than two hours of my day. Goodbye, scarab.
