Hi Joe, I now understand what needs to be done to use the aoo-closer.cgi as a webpage of our own design.
For example: (1) Create create trunk/cgi-bin/aoo-download.cgi in the project or ooo-site using the aoo-mirrors.list. Use the MIRRORS_LIST env. (2) Create downloads/aoo.mdtext file by cribbing http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.mdtext. Use the SCRIPT_FILENAME env to set the path to this page in the content tree. aoo-download.cgi should look like this: #!/bin/sh export MIRRORS_LIST=<as seen on a private email> export SCRIPT_FILENAME=/openofficeorg/downloads.html exec /www/www.apache.org/dyn/mirrors/mirrors.cgi Is this correct? I'd get on the IRC, but I'm afraid I have more of a learning curve with that than I thought.
