I'm working on a more digestable alternative: https://gist.github.com/jgarzik/6065679 Should be ready in another ~24 hours, as its obviously incomplete right now. Alas the publishing of the lame version (which yes, I did ACK) didn't give me time to finish my version. I worked on Fedora packaging while at Red Hat, so hopefully, I have a bit of insight here. Was also thinking about publishing this on opensource.com. -- Jeff Garzik Senior Software Engineer and open source evangelist BitPay, Inc. https://bitpay.com/
