This discussion drifted out in nothing, mostly because nobody made a decision and started to work the issue 6217 is also not really clear in this respect. It is for sure not rocket science to start a vm. The "science" part comes when starting to get the standard infra utilities and e.g. ldap to work. But all in all its just work, that needs to be done. I have it on the agenda for next weeks infra meeting, and I suspect we (infra) will decide how to do it and who in infra (you get 2 guesses) will take the lead. But of course if anybody else wants to do it, then I am sure that it can be arranged (just wondering, why it did not happen earlier). rgds jan I. > > Regards, > Andrea. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > >
