Gustaf,

As you're the author of most of install-ns.sh script, If you allow me, I can share it on my Github repository.

I also made a few more tweaks to install systemctl on Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14.04(lts)

Best wishes,

iuri, since a few months, install-ns installs per default Tcl 8.6.8. Can it be that you have downloaded the script a while ago without updating it later?

tdom 0.9.0 works at least with Tcl 8.5.19 (I've just compiled it iin this combination), i would expect it to be as well compatible with Tcl 8.4 and 8.3.

Although we had recently problems on one site with tdom 0.9, it turned out finally that the same problems were already in tdom 0.8.3. I think, tdom 0.9.0 can be recommended in general. The updated version of install-ns.sh contains by default support for 0.9.0.

Concerning Tcl 8.6: since Tcl 8.6.7 there are no known issues in connection with OpenACS.

Since I've use tDOM only on XML-RPC, I've decided to try and learn rl_json.

Best wishes,

OpenACS uses tdom for many tasks via the xml_* interface. Examples are .xql and .info fiiles.

Yes, I've noticed that!

In fact, that's why I'd rather use it.

JSON's format has become more and more popular, as for website and webservice's integration.
I realized we have very few ad_procs related to JSON. Unfortunately, differently from XML-RPC, JSON is very much encoding dependent, which makes it hard to maintain, even harder to build API standard procs, for community-wide contribution.

Best wishes,

Yes, it could be.
