Holy hippo, when at last will I stop reinventing the wheel ?! It justseems like everytime I have some kind of idea and seriously start towork on it, someone has the sneaky idea to release an equivalentproject, thus blowing my motivation to bits.Last time for a project of mine, I felt like I had to dev' (and did) aphp db abstraction layer+api which autogenerates stuff, just todiscover rails does just fit in for the need (though I don't knowruby, and RoR seems to be lacking in terms of docs and community).BTW, while we're on success stories, I managed to makelighttpd/ruby/rails/mysql work quite nicely under cygwin, which wasclose to a RPITA for some reason.
Concerning cygport, it seems like a great package, though from what Iread I could not grasp its exact goal. Mine was to give packages majorconfigurability through use flags and live compilation, and to takeinspiration from gentoo customizable/scriptable installation schema,effectively making it some sort of alternate distro (though mainly forpersonal use only). I might just continue to dev' it for learningpurpose, and if someday I feel like it's relevant enough, publish iton the www (which I highly suspect will, as always, never happen).
