1: Arch Linux install notes

First and foremost, thank you for packaging OpenACS on Arch Linux.

For the people that support OpenACS Arch linux packaging here are a few notes:
1. /etc/naviserver/config-oacs-5.10.0.tcl
the db_name is oacs-5-9 should be changed to oacs-5-10-0 to match new database created.

2. /usr/lib/openacs - permissions default are root:root
should be nsadmin:nsadmin
chown -R nsadmin:nsadmin ./openacs/

Excellent job. :)

Hi Tyge,
Thanks for sharing your insights!

I've updated the pkgbuild:
db_name is now set to oacs-5-10 as default.

The post_install script should already set the permissions of /usr/lib/openacs to nsadmin:nsadmin:

oacs_dir=/usr/lib/openacs
oacs_user=nsadmin
oacs_group=nsadmin
chown -R ${oacs_user}:${oacs_group} ${oacs_dir}

There could be cases where the post_install script is not run, possibly after an upgrade. The assumption is that it was already called during the first install.
