Forum OpenACS Development: Response to ACS package status.

Collapse
Posted by Kapil Thangavelu on
sadly this doesn't give much real info on the packages themselves.
whats really needed is an evaluation of which these packages work, a
massage of the .info files doesn't really give much context into the
production status of a package. i've been following the aD cvs for a
few weeks, it seems as of this week only fixes are taking place
(mainly to the bboard and acs-places). it looks like alot of these
packages have had development stopped cold turkey. on the other hand
the acs-java-packages have exploded from 0 to 6. i guess this should
be obvious from aD's focus shift. (IMO) whats needed is an assesment
of the various packages production status and also their java
depedencies. looking over the status list it seems reasonable to
assume anything with a version other than 0.1d is probably usable.
it would be nice if someone from aD could chime in....
