I have added AOLserver 3.4.2 packages (the Don-nux release *smile*)
for the OpenACS/AOLserver distribution at
http://uptime.openacs.org/aolserver-openacs.
This includes the following patches:
o tclUnixPipe.c changes for *BSD
o UID/GID patch
o Makefile changes for nsxml
I have a binary distribution compiled on SuSE GNU/Linux 7.3
I did not add Vinod's uuencode patches as I still want to check them
out a bit more. AOLserver3.3ad based packages are also available.
This has not been heavily tested on my part as I spent a good part of
my time working on a corrupted source tree (*grr*). Hopefully others
will test along with me so I released now.
Basically as it stands I have one tree with both the 3.3ad13 and
3.4.2 AOLserver sources and simply created a symlink to compile them.
Right now I don't think having multiple package version available
will be much trouble. Obviously down the road we should move towards
AOLserver 3.4.2 as the status for AOLserver3.3ad13 is unclear (or
clearly dead).
As we approach beta I'd like to offer my help to the distro
maintainers to create some unified packages across as many systems as
possible and hopefully start to be able to make them available as
OpenACS 4 beta is rolled out.
I think it would nice and benefical for OpenACS to be able to offer
packages for RedHat, SuSE, Debian, *BSD, Solaris, and others for both
OpenACS AND AOLserver(if needed). I'm willing to help make this a
reality.
Enjoy!
