Forum OpenACS Development: Re: problems with tcl threads2.6 and aolserver4

To shorten this thread, i hacked together my first apm
file
http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/download/xotcl-stuff-0.3.apm
that should work for some more people. It still assumes
that XOTcl and the Tcl Threads 2.6 are installed in place,
the two .xotcl files are changed into -procs.tcl files.

yes, there was a problem with the old version and the standard RP,
it was just working with plain AS and the
modified RP of learn@wu. I just installed on my notebook
a fresh version of OACS, and it seems to work fine....

the name is not polished, but it indicates that this
package contains different things (xotcl-thread support,
request monitor with throttleling support, value-added whos-online).
At least the first one should be moved into
a different package...

happy new year

Sure. First it should run without much tweaking,
then it should be splitted into two parts (xotcl
tread handling should not be part of a request
monitor), then adding some configuration options
and finally put it into cvs... and well, the docu
should be improved, and we have to find a way to
integrate the docs with the api browsers.

For the first part, Zoran has released a version
of libthread 2.6 that has the configuration
problems fixed (called 2.6.1). With that
the thread issues like the ones from Orzenil
should be resolved (got a positive feedback from
him).

There is a version with improved functionality
(e.g. recording site switching, user tracking):
