[Planetlab-devel] myplc-devel

 > Yes, the 14 GB number includes the FC4 distribution. Source code is 
about 500 MB, builds are about 6 GB. I'm working on reducing the size, 
but as I mentioned, maybe it's not worth it to go down this route.

My personal opinion on this matter is that at this stage we do not
need a perfectly wrapped nor self-contained packaging. We did not
reach the point yet, where we'd need to create a build env as easily
as, say, mysql-devel. So a combination of instructions/scripts, in
much the same way as pl_box used to work, could probably do the trick.

On the other end, from my experience, it might be worth setting up an
fc4 repository somewhere - we can host this if it helps - with rsync
access for easy updates from other sites. This way we can master which
versions of everything are known to work for us, and make sure future
upgrades in fc4 dont break our own world.
