Dear All:
An update.
cd loncom/build
make tardist
... produces ../../loncapa.tar.gz
mv loncapa.tar.gz to a new directory
tar xzvf loncapa.tar.gz
./CHECKRPMS is functional
./UPDATE is functional
./TEST is functional
There is even a README.
CAVEAT: Note the word "functional" above.
There are still some things I would like to iron
out before making the tarball distro
"mainstream" either for developers or system
administrators.
For instance, I want the system admin to be
able to choose his hosts.tab without having
to create softlinks through the command shell.
Till then, the journey continues with
install.lon-capa.org, STABLE, and latest
all converging into the new strategy.
Regards,
Scott
