Hi, David, others!
I'd like to make a port of Rivet to FreeBSD (I'm currently maintaining the
mod_dtcl port). The most recent release of the software appears stuck at
0.5.0, which is not compiling against Apache-2.2.
It appears, that the 0.7.0 was released over a year ago, but there are no
sources -- only binaries (for Windows).
What is the current state? How far off is a 2.2-compatible release?
Is the project abandoned/withering and we should all look at websh instead?
Thanks!

This would be of interest for me as well. I've bothered this list several
times because of install problems with Rivet on FreeBSD. A port would make
the whole issue a lot simpler.

I recently took the subversion 1.0 release, and using the notes provided
in FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, compiled against Apache 1.3 using the the following
script to configure:
export AUTOHEADER=autoheader259
export AUTOCONF=autoconf259
export AUTOMAKE=automake19
export ACLOCAL=aclocal19
aclocal19
autoheader259
automake19
autoconf259
./configure --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib --with-tclinclude=/usr/local/include \
--with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs --with-apache=/usr/local/etc/apache
This apache was from the ports (pkg_add -r??), and I had hand built 8.4.14
myself. I believe I had to pkg_add some of the auto tools as well, but the
build seems to have worked pretty well.
<IMHO>
Having said this, I *LOVE* Rivet, and really enjoy developing with it, but
given David's new found love of Ruby/Rails, I believe that unless someone
else stands up to do an Apache 2.x port, and keep the development emphasis
going, Rivet is a dead end. While this saddens me, and I won't likely use
Rivet for any more commercial development (unless things change), it really
and truly is a useful and intuitive tool for the Tcl knowledgeable web
developer.
</IMHO>
