Re: chroot, Doctrine, ZendFrameWork

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Glad to see your excitement around chroot environments and PHP.  Using
chroot makes development, testing, and deployment of apps on IBM i
significantly better because of the boundaries and other inherent realities
(i.e. runtime environments are always script generated to be the same,
every time).

If you'd like to see the guts of what Tony was showing, head over to
https://bitbucket.org/litmis/ibmichroot

If you run into problems or have questions then please log them here:
https://bitbucket.org/litmis/ibmichroot/issues

You can also use the "issues" link to log feature requests.   So far Tony
and I have added features based on our needs and forethought, though I hope
others continue to stretch chroot further.  If you have a feature request
and know your way around shell scripts then feel free to do a
fork/pull-request.
