This looks cool and I am going to give this a try. The problem for me is, as is usually the case with such project, the packaging. If this thing is production-ready, then why must I check for installed dependencies by running random commands [1]? If it's a Python project, why isn't it distributed on PyPI? I don't want to download stuff from BitBucket manually and install it by executing setup.py. I understand that the project supports multiple OS's. That's great. But there are simple steps that can be taken to make installing this thing via automated tools (Puppet, Chef, Ansible, etc.) easier than how it's set up now. A Debian package would be so nice for Ubuntu/Debian. [1] http://www.rath.org/s3ql-docs/installation.html#dependencies http://www.rath.org/s3ql-docs/installation.html#dependencies
