In an effort to not sound ungrateful I believe there is some misconception that everyone should own up to
The collection of tools that front ends everything,the thing that configures and compiles and creates your deploy folder, along with the initial database entries and adds in any custom code via an rpmesk setup.
IE The DayZ Server Swiss army knife....
That is what bliss is.
Bliss is not the actual server itself, anyone that looks at the code and does a compare would understand this.
It would have been better to call Bliss a "Tool Set", by calling bliss a "server" the creator of the tool set has now also become the sole role of support because he created the tool which you don't understand what it does or how it does it.
If people would remove the world "dayz" from their 90% of their questions and look at it long and hard, maybe put that phrase into Google we wouldn't be were we are at today.
I don't blame the guy for what he did, but people weren't going to get answers to questions on the dayzmod forums, so they ended up bugging him, if you look at the commit notes most of them are about putting more information which basically told you to learn to read.
Also with regards to forking stuff:Anything on Git public is open to forking, otherwise don't use git public that's the spirit of git. and again since people can't, don't or won't use google here is the page on that: https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo

If you need test data let me know. I ran test builds for ayan on my servers all the time.
So the current build leaves a lot to be desired, there are all sorts of bugs and issues with the code/tools/merging that will take longer to identify and fix then it is really worth. For the current Bliss 1.7.5 I will release the code, but the future of the tool may be completely different. I have begun development on a c# .net application which will provide greater functionality in the long run. I will use the foundation of Bliss (database structure/addons) and the concepts of it so that we can continue supporting the existing server build outs. I plan on support ftp server access, backing up the databases, backing up the existing file structures and more. I understand that the Linux users will not be able to run this on their server, but it will support a dev machines ability to connect to the server itself.

Will you supply descriptions of your new packages?
Yes I will, the way I am designing this though, you simply copy your wanted script into the proper folder and then create the pkg file which loads it into the system. This allows you to grab packages from anywhere.

Does it basically do a diff of the code and add in anything that is different in the package to the server pbo? Will you also be doing this for mission changes, such as loot replacement?

Linux users should probably build this on a windows machine and upload it to their server or install wine, the current package system uses a windows version of the gnu diffutils.
I would not count on visad having to make every single pkg, there should be an owner/maintainer for each of them really, and they all needed to be adopted by some one, this is ultimately why ayan had to do everything and probably got pissed off, you start off with 1 package that works on cherno and then start adding it to the other islands and no one bothers to think that the map being diffrent matters.
nor do they think that there might be some code in one map that isn't in another.
If anyone is worried about a specific function its very easy to look at the current package and see what the code does and then just add that to the next server release, sqf is not the hardest language to learn.
If there is something specific you can always just ask on a forum and some one is bound to help if the post is properly worded, in english usually.
yeh im building on my windows machine and uploading to my debian box right now anyway, and wine has to be installed to run the server on linux, ive heard of others getting it to work with play on linux but i havent tried that route yet
right now i got bliss running on debian squeeze, had to compile wine from source and track down all the libs i needed to do so, but it seems to run fairly stable, i get an occasional error in wine but it doesnt seem to affect performance (although i have not tested under full server load)
the only packages im really concerned with are building, invcust, killmsg and carepkg, if some other cool stuff gets added and i want it on my server il fig out a way to manually get it in
edit: i should also note that i have this running on a vm for testing right now, and my server is not full up and on my dedi box in dallas, the vm is just a direct mirror i keep of my dedi, so i can test out stuff and not worry about messing it up

Are you still looking for testing? we've got a server connected to our databse that's not really doing anything. It's our #5 and it shares a database and computer with #4 so it's fairly easy to compare the new set to the old set.
PM me or reply here. I can't give out RDP but team veiwer might be an option
Yes, definitely, anyone who wishes to test this should download the 1.7.5 ( or devel) branch. I am going to call it "stable" until I start getting some feedback on it. @Graz if you like, you can send me TV info and I will connect. I am sitting here for the next 6+ hours coding on the new tool anyways.

if email doesnt work, hes always on irc 
#dayz or #bliss
#dayz or #blissI take it that you could run each one of these to setup the packages? build_AllWorlds - <pkgname>.cmd
Also, I can give you the batch file I use to install a Bliss setup.

Those are templates for you to use on setting up your build. I wanted to provide examples since it seems some users miss a few settings.
Alright cool. Cant wait to starting using it!
