Yes, supporting multiple platforms is always tricky. Most software 
packages spend little effort on installing dependencies for you--they 
focus on preparing an rpm or a deb that specifies external package 
requirements. Can you add those to the wiki? Do we have a page for 
ubuntu/debian?

This is an open bug, right? The config files should disable listening on 
ports by default, except for the proxy, which can listen on a specified 
port (which we can check as you suggested).

Definitely.

I guess I don't really know anything about installation, because I've 
been focusing on building only the qserv core. I haven't booked any time 
for understanding the install scripts or anything. To build qserv (after 
dependencies are ready), you need to prepare a 'custom.py' file and then 
just run scons in the core directory. The details are on the wiki page. 
Hopefully, I can work with Fabrice on eups, so we can eliminate the 
custom.py in eups-managed conditions and simply run  'scons --eups'.
