Dear All:
The latest current tarball at http://install.lon-capa.org/
http://install.lon-capa.org/versions/current/loncapa.tar.gz
Download and try it. I'm happy and it will make you happy too.
Features:
* STABLE mixed with about 15 unstable changes I have made
* works really GREAT now when both first-time and current
users download it and run ./UPDATE
I apologize for the STABLE/unstable mixture. But, I could not
bear to teach (again) the latest new user about the technical nitty-gritty
of the entire system, etc. I saw the movie Spiderman and this would
have turned me into the green goblin.
I would rather just have a great vanilla layer, which I think
./UPDATE now represents. It interactively queries the user
for machine specific information.
MANY thanks to Matthew for his suggestions and feedback (and good-humored
patience) over the last week.
Regards,
Scott
