finstall sourceforge project page

Posted on November 8th, 2007 by Yousef Ourabi

Ivan Voras, the main FreeBSD developer behind finstall, the upcoming FreeBSD installer has just created a project on sourceforge to make the development and interaction with the community easier.

The project page is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/finstall/

Needless to say, this would be much easier if the FreeBSD project would just get off its perforce repository for “pre-production” development (or whatever that means). I’ve complained enough about FreeBSD’s use of perforce in my post called: FreeBSD and Perforce? Just Say No!

In any case, back to the finstall project. There are two mailing lists: finstall-developers@lists.sourceforge.net for discussion and development and finstall-svn@lists.sourceforge.net which will just track commits to the sourceforge SVN repository.

Web access to the projects SVN repository is here: http://finstall.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/finstall/

I highly recommend people keep an eye on this, as this will eventually become the de-facto FreeBSD installer. In the coming weekend I’ll expand on the finstall architecture and current progress so stay tuned.
