Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Mailing List not working with Categories

Posted by Walter Smith on
I'm struggling a bit with the package re-installation.  The package manager is very cool, but I seem to be having dependency problems.

Are the changes you made, Timo, going to be reflected in the package that the installer automatically pulls off of the openacs.org site?  Or do I need to get the latest version from CVS (which branch)?

When I try to run the installation on Mailing List 1.0, I get an error that it requires acs-mail-lite 0.3.  However, I can't seem to find that version anywhere (which means it's probably right under my nose).  Should I expect to see it as an available package when I click on "Install Software"?

If I can just get past a few of these issues I think I can be more self-sufficient.

Thanks!

I believe acs-mail-lite 0.3 is only 5.1-compatible, not 5.0.  The automatic installer only shows compatible packages, based on your kernel version.  You can browse all of the packages in both versions directly at https://openacs.org/repository.

Thanks Joel.  It makes sense that I would only see compatible packages, although I still don't find acs-mail-lite 0.3.  The version listed under 5.1 is acs-mail-lite 0.2a.  I tried checking it out of Head through CVS, but what I found was also version 0.2a...unless I'm looking in the wrong place.

Walter,

acs-mail-lite has been moved around on HEAD lately. Maybe https://openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=133999 can help you track it down. You can also use the cvs browser and check the HEAD and openacs-5-0 branches in both the normal (/packages) location and under contrib (https://openacs.org/4/checkout).
