(all of which I don't think OpenACS has) 18:07:05 commented item A 18:07:38 AaronSw-UK: does it have any modules/community support yet? 18:08:18 Unfortuantely, not many that I know of. 18:08:40 That's very much a strong suit of OpenACS 18:09:03 I think people to readily compare things to OACS that are to different to compare. 18:09:18 rbm: what you have to do in emacs, is control what elisp function the tab key invokes 18:09:55 beattiek, yeah, like Zope 18:10:01 :) 18:10:09 Woo, just need to find out how to add my path to my thing 18:10:30 Do you Linuxy people know where Linux likes it's path defined globally? 18:10:49 Spork: depends on shell 18:10:58 bash 18:11:52 do you want it just for you? maybe you edit ~/.bash_profile, maybe ~/.bashrc 18:12:02 nah, everyone 18:12:39 but for the details, info bash, navigate to where it tells you what files it reads when 18:13:52 jim: Hmmm. That's a good suggestion. I think it is indent-line 18:14:00 AaronSw-UK is now known as AardnSw-UK 18:14:09 Got it 18:14:16 rbm: also, I just found elisp (setq-default ...) 18:14:20 AardnSw-UK is now known as AaronSw-UK 18:14:53 (as I'm looking to kill all tab chars in my text) 18:15:01 sbp (~sean@m869-mp1-cvx4c.pop.ntl.com) has joined #OpenACS 18:15:03 cool 18:15:33 AaronSw-UK: I personally think it's a bad idea to have templates calling code. 18:15:49 Really, why's that? 18:16:02 What's a template's function? 18:16:20 To outline a representation to be sent to a client. 18:16:28 a Representation, really. 18:16:33 Exactly. 18:16:46 So you're separating presentation from logic. 18:16:56 Logic should be where logic goes. 18:17:03 Yepitty. 18:17:20 Putting code in presentation defeats the purpose of the separation. 18:17:33 but maybe you can create support for templates in specific ways, using code to do that 18:17:56 rbm, huh? I didn't say putting code in a presentation -- just calling it 18:18:18 I'd classify that as code. It's a slippery slope. 18:18:49 What if it's just requesting some variables to be set? 18:19:02 I can see the usefullness of such thing, but I can also see the problems. 18:19:11 Hmm. Let me think about this. 18:19:20 What are some of the problems? 18:19:30 It should be pretty easy to implement something like that in OACS' templating system. 18:19:55 AaronSw-UK: You're giving graphic designers rope to hang themselves with. 18:19:57 (for one) 18:20:06 what is the best way to read package documentation? 18:20:21 Hmm, I don't really imagine graohic desginers writing templates like these. 18:20:22 eyes are good ;) 18:21:03 AaronSw-UK: Just like people never imagine someone exploiting that buffer they didn't check. 18:21:07 jim: thanks, i was thinking upside-down and blindfolded 18:21:29 rbm: i wouldn't say it's just like that, 18:21:30 wow, that was gonna be my second guess :) 18:21:58 but realy, what is the best way? 18:22:12 can i read it off my server? 18:22:18 rbm, I don't think that's exactly analogous. 18:22:56 AaronSw-UK: Not exactly analogous, but pretty close. 18:23:02 I've always read pkg docs using the web, there should be a link doc/package 18:23:04 the principle still applies 18:23:12 gotta run 18:23:35 AaronSw-UK has quit ("dinner") 18:25:19 there's the requirements doc, the design doc, which might be linked off of there, and then your indiv procs would be in the api browser 18:25:30 sbp has quit ("Homer: 20 dollars? I wanted a peanut!") 18:26:26 (so you should always use ad-proc or equiv, and write the javadoc-like stuff in the doc string) 18:27:15 * jim thinks that might be better named doc-proc if we're getting away from ad 18:28:31 jim: they are all named ad_foo so you know where they came from I think. 18:28:58 Weird. I didn't think SUM could return a null. 18:30:00 sbp (~sean@m182-mp1-cvx4c.pop.ntl.com) has joined #OpenACS 18:31:07 if only the VC people would be honored by that rather than see it as competition 18:33:28 also there are 1000's of lines of code using them :) 18:40:41 sbp has quit (K-lined) 18:41:26 would you store subsite files in /var/www/$server/www/$subsite/? 18:41:56 sbp (~sean@m281-mp1-cvx4c.pop.ntl.com) has joined #OpenACS 18:42:54 what type? static files? 18:45:19 sbp has quit (Killed (NickServ (Ghost: SeanP!~sean@m97-mp1-cvx3b.pop.ntl.com))) 18:46:09 yes 18:46:28 I am not sure... 18:47:18 PHP sucks 18:47:20 that should work. 18:48:08 Anyone know if there's a way to force a process to be executed on a certain process in a SMP machine? 18:48:34 s/process$/CPU/ 18:51:33 hmmmm.. postgresql is still broken. 18:54:17 7.2? 18:54:24 no 7.1.3 18:54:32 I can't connect. 18:54:53 Is the process up 18:54:55 ? 18:55:11 yes.

So your postmaster is starting allright, but psql can't seem to find the vars. 19:02:55 Check your env vars. Is this as a regular user? 19:03:09 davb: Mozilla shouldn't have done anything with it 19:03:55 I tried as postgres user, nsadmin.

BUT removing a packge from the APM also deletes the files from the filesystem. (yes that needs to be optional) 19:24:53 weird 19:25:42 well were not talking a large burden to maintain and load into ram unused packages anyway... i think... 19:26:25 see, i want to load all of the packages, then use them as nessicary while i develop, then ditch the ones i don't use. 19:27:04 I usually just install what I want to work with, then add more if I need them. 19:27:25 Definitely on a development machine I can't forsee a problem installing them all. 19:28:04 except that you might run into errors from packages that are not fully ported yet 19:28:32 Really weird. 19:28:53 postgresql vacummed itself Dec 30, so it was working then. 19:29:32 what have you done since then? ;-) 19:31:51 are there any packages you guys would suggest against? 19:32:08 that have caused problems in the past. 19:36:26 you might want to start at the status document: http://openacs.org/new-file-storage/download/status.html?version_id=410 19:36:54 if the package is listed as TESTING, it *should* work. anything less than TESTING and it probably won't work 19:38:53 vinod: since then, I was in Windows, I can't even look at the Linux partitions :) 19:40:46 davb: good alibi :-) 19:41:21 I thought so. 19:41:57 I then did apt-get install mozilla and upgraded to mozilla 0.9.7. then I noticed I couldn't connect to postgresql. 19:42:49 couldn't connect? 19:43:24 yes. the postmaster appears to be running, but psql and aolserver can't connect to it. 19:43:51 ok, sounds like a different vers of pg has been installed? 19:44:01 I hope not :) 19:44:22 do you build your pg separate, or install .deb? 19:44:40 I used the .deb 19:44:54 ok, .deb could have been upgraded 19:46:39 suggest mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/source ; put source there, install into /usr/local/pgsql from source, manage /etc/init.d/* files appropriately 19:47:02 now... so that I can get up to speed and maybe help concretely... 19:47:13 I'm gonna now install oacs4 19:47:24 i see. 19:47:32 I think I have just enuf time 19:47:38 first, pg... 19:47:40 talli (~talli@ip64-75-146-204.dial.maui.net) has joined #openacs 19:47:42 what version again? 19:47:42 it was working two days ago.

MIT... I wish. 22:22:21 MIT is too expensive for me. I was lucky to get a scholarship to pay for my BS here at Utah State University. 22:22:50 Ben is on leave for his doctorate from MIT (I think) 22:23:18 Calling Docter Fine, Doctor Howard, Doctor Fine... 22:23:37 (old 3 stooges routine :) 22:25:42 OK. You can apply for maint, get advocate/sponsor, eventually get accepted as debian devel, or let another debian devel (perhaps Brent) sponsor your pkgs without you being maint... 22:25:55 which you want to do? 22:27:43 hmmm 22:28:14 How long does it take to be "accepted" as debian developer. 22:28:20 s/\./?/ 22:30:17 could be long time. year is not unheard of 22:30:39 WOW! 22:30:49 Why does it take that long? 22:31:02 but: you would maintain pkgs anyways no matter how you looked at it 22:31:26 Do you have to take tests to become a maintainer? 22:31:48 originally, there were only a handful of people whose job it was to interview/process new maints 22:32:03 I think it's better now, not sure 22:32:12 not sure about the tests 22:32:49 interesting. 22:32:52 for one, you have established track record as free-software advocate, you likely read the GPL more than once... 22:33:22 So perhaps the best way would be for me to have a sponsor until I'm eventually accepted as a maintainer. 22:33:54 jim: That's easy. I founded the USU Free Software and Linux Club 3 years ago, was its president for the first year and have been an officer since. 22:35:14 I visualized, and with the help of several others, organized and promoted 2 University-level Free Software and Linux Forums. First one had Richard Stallman as keynote speaker, and the second one had Bruce Perens. 22:35:29 Next year we'll have Jon Maddog Hall it appears. 22:35:47 yes, maybe that is best... either way, you'd maintain pkgs... 22:36:26 (note: to pass policy, your packages won't be able to touch /usr/local in significant ways) 22:36:27 That's cool that Debian is so careful about its maintainers. The more I get to know Debian, the more I like it. 22:36:38 jim: That's okay. 22:37:15 Maybe I should stop by #debian sometime. 22:39:02 yes, I'm now trying to get BenC's attn 22:40:12 in #debian? 22:40:19 umm 22:40:25 by /msg 22:40:32 I just joined 22:40:33 he's current debian project leader 22:41:41 jim: You're already a maintainer rigth? 22:41:50 yes 22:42:21 So how about you "adopt" the AOLserver packages and you become my "sponsor"? 22:42:31 I can do that 22:42:43 Then we can see about packaging openacs-4 22:42:59 We could package nsopenssl, ns_xml and other AOLserver modules. 22:43:05 there's one problem for me... 22:43:14 what? 22:43:22 I don't have machines enough to get away from the stable released debian 22:43:47 I have machines running unstable. I could get another running testing. 22:45:50 rbm: does oracle-8.1.6 run ok on sid? 22:46:11 jim: Yes. It's been a while since I installed it, but it did last I tried. 22:46:21 I think I installed 8.1.7 actually. 22:46:38 That reminds me I should install it again sometime. 22:54:17 * jim is arranging to get a sid going 23:40:53 ok, updating said machine 23:47:14 upgrading its packages gonna take awhile
