Perhaps somebody with more knowledge can help us?!? The problems I see, are the differences in functionality and configurations= =20 between all the "DMD's", and how to figure out, which "DMD" is used by the= =20 system to install the right configuration and run scripts. I just use daemontools at the moment, and I think this will not change the= =20 next time. I've to take a closer look to the posibilities of virtual packages.
