I found your comparison intriguing. First, a minor correction - as David
points out, live-magic is indeed a pretty usable frontend to live-helper but
it still requires that users actually build the images on their own machines
which--for many reasons--people seem to shy away from. It also has some
limitations in terms of package selection, etc.
Anyway, I was never quite satisfied with the architectual design of
live-webhelper so a few months ago I wrote some code that pretty much
implemented most of openSUSE Studio (as I currently understand it) as a
web-based application.
However, I stopped development after I realised I did not have the hardware
resources to actually go live with something like that. It would need:
* A reasonably fast machine
* Enough local storage to:
- temporarily store generate images, and
- host a local Debian mirror
* Large amount of bandwidth for downloads
* Root access to build images
I believe this last requirement would rule out the use of any DSA-maintained
machines. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Regards,
