[Swift-devel] wiring swift and falkon together

[Ioan Raicu]

Hmmm... from my understanding, the Falkon provider is independent of the 
fact that Swift will actually use Falkon or not.  There is no 
requirement that Falkon be used, even if you have the Falkon provider 
installed!

With that said, our statement about people avoiding the latest version 
of Swift due to the Falkon provider doesn't make any sense. Maybe Yong 
has more input on this...

About how Falkon gets deplyed, it is simply uncompressed, you modify 1 
or 2 config files, and use the included scripts to start everything!  
All this is in the included readme.txt in the Falkon archive, 
downloadable online on my web site.  Once again, if someone is not 
intersted in using Falkon, then I see no reason why they would be doing 
anything different than before just because there is now a Falkon 
provider in Swift.
