Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Development Tutorial Available

I agree, Joel. While porting our company's packages to OpenACS 4, I'm finding this to be very high "overhead".

Perhaps one way to do it would be to provide a "package-template" package. This would be the basic structure, and when you're creating a new package, you could just copy the whole directory and modify as needed.

So you'd:

cd web/packages
cp -a package-template mynewpackage
cvs add mynewpackage
(etc)
cd mynewpackage

then edit all the files.

I'm not sure if that's much of an improvement, though.

Thanks for the notes about DocBook. I'll look into that when I have some free time.
