Automatic install script is complete and checked in. It checks out and installs an OpenACS (and optionally dotLRN) OpenACS server on a machine that already has a database, aolserver, and daemontools. The configuration file lets you change the server name, run without daemontools, use dotLRN, and control the paths.
To get it,
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@openacs.org:/cvsroot co -d install openacs-4/etc/install
sh install/install.sh
By default this will create a user called service0 and an openacs server called service0 in /var/lib/aolserver/, and start and install the site at http://localhost:8000.
There are probably lots of bugs and I left many TODOs in the code (which is Peter's work and my butchery), but I know enough other people are interested that I thought it better to get this out and get help and feedback on the method than to wait while we get around to polishing.
Known bugs: ignores command-line-specified config file; creates an orphan daemontools process.
