Re: [Savane-dev] Darwin updates, and Makefile issues

I was actually going to apply at some point to join the project, as I intend to stay on as a long-term contributater/developer. I was originally going to (re-)add PostgreSQL support, but looking at the task list, there is a lot before anyone should consider adding another database into the code-base. I'm not very good with HTML, but I do know PHP very well, and I'm now beginning to learn perl so I can work w/ the back-end. Anyway, I have the crontabs working (expect for the ones relating to viewcvs, and mailman), but I can't get CVS resporities working. The most I see on creating them is sv_pserver_cvsroots, and all that does is spit a file out in /etc. Am I missing something here, or do I just need to make the respotiories by hand ? Michael

Here are the scripts that Mac OS X/Darwin need to create/delete users,
and a usermod that lets sv_users do it's stuff. sv_ni_dump dumps the
NetInfo info into /etc/passwd and /etc/group so sv_users can
work. Those files are not normally used on this platform, and the
nidump command makes flat-file versions of them. sv_ni_dump must be
run before sv_groups or sv_users. These haven't been well tested, so I
haven't modified the Makefiles to auto-install them if it detects a
netinfo installation (presence of niutil).


I'll work on including these files.
Note that if you intend to contribute to Savane in the long run, we
can grant you CVS access.

On the topic of Makefiles, I noticed that the Savane downloads
actually ship with the makefiles pre-made, and don't require
./configure to be ran. I'm not sure if this is intentional, but I
believe that ./configure should generate the Makefile, and pre-made
ones should be removed.


You are right.

PS: I just called it darwin since that is the name of the underlying
OS on Mac OS X, but there no reason it can't be called macosx, or
something like that.


I have no opinion on that subject :)

Thanks for your contribution,
Regards,
