Re: openssi on fedora latest version

It would be nice to target RHEL/CentOS 6 release as a base in the
future. I initially intended to port the userland stuff to CentOS 5,
however a lot has changed in the Linux world since it was originally
released and I prefer saving my energy for a more current release.

Fedora, IMO, is not a viable solution as a long-term platform, since
they spit out at least 2 releases every year. It would be impossible to
keep up without the manpower.

I also wondered if you guys have any intention of submitting the SSI
stuff for inclusion with the kernel?

Also, one might consider updating openssi.org. It is quite a dissuasive
to see the most recent news to be from 2006. Nobody really knows if the
project is still alive, unless you sign up to the mailing list.

Just my 2 cents.. ;)
