Aug 28 21:45:10 <Sgeo>	Hi
Aug 28 21:45:27 <Inc>	hello
Aug 28 21:46:11 <Sgeo>	Erm, may I see your explanation?
Aug 28 21:46:19 <Sgeo>	BRB
Aug 28 21:48:19 <Inc>	well, yes asylum can be accomplished in shell scripting. I founded the project, I don't know shell scripting and I wrote the origional code.
Aug 28 21:48:30 <Inc>	that is why its in python.
Aug 28 21:49:07 <Inc>	there arent other projects like
Aug 28 21:49:24 <Inc>	well err other package manangers that are cross plateform
Aug 28 21:49:35 <Inc>	theres not something that just builds svn and cvs programs
Aug 28 21:50:40 <Sgeo>	But just running commands in a file does nothing useful. May I assume it will do more that just send commands in a profile to the shell?
Aug 28 21:51:25 <Inc>	well, it ill do that and be automated....
Aug 28 21:51:32 <Inc>	and thus making it easier for users
Aug 28 21:52:02 <Sgeo>	What do you mean by "automated"?
Aug 28 21:52:20 <Inc>	meaning it runs all the commands
Aug 28 21:52:30 <Inc>	without the user needing to anything besides selecting the profile
Aug 28 21:52:49 <Sgeo>	And Asylum can download profiles from somewhere?
Aug 28 21:53:12 <Inc>	yup on the site. I might integrate it to just reed the commands from an rss feed for each program
Aug 28 21:53:21 <Inc>	thus we can update it on the site.... instead of locally
Aug 28 21:53:28 <Inc>	and make the user have to redownload the profiles
Aug 28 21:54:05 <Sgeo>	So it's a bit like a package manager for shell scripts designed to build cvs/svn?
Aug 28 21:54:24 <Inc>	yup.
Aug 28 21:54:40 <Inc>	And, it can be impliment into cap-py
