Wouldn't it be nice to have a nightly tarball that contains OpenACS-4.6 and all the modules that you need to run dotLRN, checking out oacs-4-6 and dotlrn-1 (or whatever that tag was again).
Other than that we do need an easy installation method, e.g. use an RPM for installing with a preloaded datamodell for Postgres.
Well, this is what I'd have in mind:
- AOLserver RPM that installs itself in /usr/local/aolserver with all the necessary modules compiled. A startup file for running the dotLRN installation on http://127.0.0.1:8000 included in /etc/aolserver (or wherever)
- OpenACS RPM that contains the code, to be installed into /web/dotlrn (or wherever). Furthermore it contains Postgres / Oracle dumpfile. It would create the Oracle tablespace and load the dumpfile into this tablespace.
I'm not even sure it is feasible, let alone do I know how to do it, but you can always have dreams.
