My last email didn't make it to the list, probably because of the attachments. Therefore I'm sending it again without attachments, you can retrieve the files from http://drop.io/openxpki1488modifiedfiles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello list,
After weeks of "unqualified hacking around" on my machine adapting the openxpki installation to suit my needs I thought i'd share the experience and work I have put into this back to you. So, I came up with some modification proposals and setup hints for the other users who want to "try this at home" ;-) Since this is only my second time posting something to a mailing list, I tried keeping the body text short and have therefore split everything into separate files - I hope MIME messages are'nt a problem... Ok... Well, what you will find attached here, is: - teststeps.txt A log of the features I have tested, along with an error message, which I cannot explain but doesn't present a problem later on. - configuration-comments.txt This file contains instructions how to modify your config files to try out the same things I did. - modifications.txt The diffs to the perl modules I modified under /usr/lib/perl5. BTW I'm using 1488 from SVN on Ubuntu 8.04. - modifications-comments.txt A log with comments to my modifications. - modifedfiles.7z Actual copies of my modified files from /usr/lib/perl5. Just in case the diff went wrong and to make the user happy (copy-paste ;-)) I hope these files will make it without problems... A note to the developers regarding the proposals: please don't just adopt my modifications directly - the last time I was contributing to another project this way they did that and my changes broke things in other parts of the software which took them all the way from 1.0-RC1a with several 1.0 delays to 1.20 to discover the problem and fix it ;-( (they've mentioned me in their change log but I'm not very proud of that as you might imagine) Also, I don't know whether some of my changes are fitting into the "design goals" or not... Anyway, please do a "proof read" before that. Thanks. I hope it will work out for you, have fun and best regards, Marc P.S.: I do scripting only if inevitable and I've used Perl on Win32 only - the last time in 2002. I'm a relatively busy sysad...@win32/64 and *nix-ing in my free time, but I'll do my best on answering questions if there are any. So please don't blame me on the code and/or on reply speed ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
