Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Conforming with Linux Standands Base Project (was re: Reference Platform)

Hi,

I think what Joel has layed out on the last thread is good enough for me.  I believe the first priority is making the installation easier.  Following standards is nice.  I can't volunteer anymore time other that putting some opinion out on the forums.  If Joel has time to volunteer and it improves things, I think he should go for it.

It maybe also be just possible to have a big tar ball since the current layout given by Joel can be done like that.  Extract the tar ball on /web.  Then run a script that will restore the pg_dump file then run on non-root port on localhost.  Like 8080.  The current installation of both aolserver and postgres seems to be easy enough.  So we just make a reference system in a tar ball of openacs.  Its a reference not a production system.  John S tried to use vmware for this, which is also a great idea.
