Sysinstall is still inadequate after all of these years / sorry I started flame war

[Daniel Engberg]

Hi,

While the main issue/topic addresses sysinstall's inability to 'nicely' 
interact with installation of packages and then turns into generic 
installer issues/thoughts etc I would like to bring up to those who've 
missed that there is ongoing work with a new installer. Last year(?) 
Ivan Voras made some research of current "frameworks/installers" to 
evalute and to get some ideas of what you would want from an installer 
and this turned into a SoC project founded by Google. While I'm not 
really sure what it does/doesn't I think it looks like a good solution 
in general. This is still WIP so it might be worth looking in and 
contribute.

A bit late but oh well ;-)
