Hi,

Nice to have a debian package for this software !

I was just wondering.

Your package depends on the 'official' debian package of aolserver. But OpenACS relies on a patched version of aolserver, ie it needs

- the patch that makes ns_uuencode  work for binary files

- the patch that makes AOLserver respect the -g flag

How did you get around this ?

Also you might Suggests: libpam-radius-auth

Cheers,

Eric

I don't have plans to provide an aolserver4 package, but if somebody contribute it I would integrate it as a dependency for our dotlrn packages for the next upstream version.

Could you add references to these patches?
Shouldn't they be in the Debian package anyway?
If they are not it's time to submit bugs and patches to the Debian maintainer.

That patches that Eric commented were for aolserver-3.x so they are not needed in the aolserver4 Debian package.

I've been using the Debian package of aolserver4 (aolserver4, aolserver4-nscache, aolserver4-nsopenssl, aolserver4-nspostgres and aolserver4-nssha1) for more than two months both in production and development with success, so please try it and report any problems to the Debian bug tracking system.
