Forum OpenACS Development: Re: update of the xotcl packages for oacs

Collapse
Posted by Malte Sussdorff on
Gustaf, I usually run a mix of oacs-5-2 and HEAD. The steps involved are:

cvs co -r oacs-5-2 openacs-4
mv openacs-4 mysite
cvs co openacs-4
cd mysite/packages
rm -rf *packages_to_come_from_head*
cp -pr ../../openacs-4/packages/*packages_to_come_from_head* .

After that an update is done:

cd mysite/packages
cvs update -Pd * >update.log

Very easy to handle, works perfectly nice.

As for the license. I'm not entirely sure how the BSD license affects our code base, but as I did not detect a license agreement in xotcl-core and probably did not read the download page carefully I did not detect an incompatability. It is now in CVS anyway, will ask the OCT about it.

Thanks for the fixes, will look into them momentarily
