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 ;-)
