[cs615asa] HW2 Questions

[John Scire]

Okay I gotcha! The reason I asked about the rpm packages for the 
dependencies was that I was wondering if that was the specific way we 
were supposed to do them or whether using yum to install the packages 
and then doing an "rpm -i our-statsd.rpm" to install our package was 
okay as well. Is this okay as well?

Thanks again,
John Scire
