As for installation, once Ales releases the next rev (coming very
soon. . . .), I will put my install CD .iso onto geda.seul.org for
folks to download. It automates the installation process with a
Python-based GUI which manages the ./configure && make && make install
process for all the usual tools (not just gEDA/gaf).
I'd say Gentoo Linux is the best at doing this kind of thing. We have
ebuilds written which work great to automate this stuff.
By the way, who is the Python based GUI for? Shouldn't Linux users rely
on their distribution to make RPMs, debs, ebuilds, etc..? Gentoo
certainly won't be using it. And I can't see Debian or Fedora using it
either since they are binary distros. Seems like the Python-based GUI is
for 0.1% of the Linux population.
