Bart - I did just look through the latest install docs - things I mention are listed as optional software. Hats off to Joel and Vinod (and many many others) for doing such a good job on the documentation.

Seems to me that the first thing to tackle is to either convince the TCL community to enable threading by default (i.e. no compile option means its on) or to track down the various RPM bundlers for all the distros and ask them to turn on threads. The no flag for TCL is the simplest if they would go for it. I'll look into the TIP process and propose it.

Next after that - aolserver releases in rpm format for the major distros that are threaded-tcl dependency aware.

Next - tDOM.

Assuming postgres is good as is, FTS RPM.

Next .. ?

Other than load - is there any reason not to bundle up all the necessary software into RPMs for a platform or two and let rpmfind.net know about it?

I just sent an email to Jeff Hobbs to request that --enable-threads be the default compile behavior. Will report the results.

Alfred,

I've made an RPM for tDOM. So that one is covered.
