Forum OpenACS Q&A: nsxml for OpenACS4 - is XSLT needed?

Collapse
Posted by Jonathan Marsden on
OK, thanks for the input.  I have an initial aolserver-3.3+ad13 RPM already.  For nsxml, I have some questions...

Q1: Which version is the latest and where should it be obtained from?

I think the answer is nsxml 1.4, at http://acs-misc.sourceforge.net/dl/nsxml.tgz

Q2: Does or will OpenACS4 make use of the XSLT option?

That will require a minor Makefile edit (simple enough), but also will mean we have a new dependency on libxslt... so then I'd have yet another pair of binary RPMs to create (for RH 6.2 and RH 7.1), since xmlsoft doesn't seem to offer those, just the SRPM.

I'm tempted to just build nsxml without the XSLT support for the moment, as far as I can tell that will be all OpenACS4 currently requires...?
