Re: [AOLSERVER] Two modules for AOLServer available
We now have three modules (that I know of) which use OpenSSL. I think it's time to break OpenSSL into its own openssl.so module, and have it loaded prior to loading nsencrypt.so, nsopenssl.so and nsimap.so. I'll work on that this week. Vlad, your nscache is labeled as version 1.4. Rob's doesn't appear to be labeled at all. So I'm going to make Rob's import and file release as 1.3, add your changes and make that a separate 1.4 release. If this isn't correct, let me know -- like, really soon, as I'm working on it right now :) /s.

Re: [AOLSERVER] AOLserver Postgres Driver (2.3.0)
What I had actually done was refactor the parts out into separate files. Not sure it was the best cut, and the two are certainly badly out of sync because of me. Other than cosmetic changes though, I haven't really changed the way it operates. So starting with a fresh copy of the OpenACS dist would probably be much easier. The biggest problem is: will the OpenACS crew let me take the OpenACS postgres module, refactor it and then use that refactored copy, maintaining it at SourceForge? I realize OpenACS has a terrific SDM, but I think the AOLserver C modules should be maintained and distributed from a central location, and that would be SourceForge. If the OpenACS folks continue with their version of postgres.so, that's fine, but I hate to see two separate modules whose only real differences may be cosmetic. /s.

Re: [AOLSERVER] AOLserver Postgres Driver (2.3.0)
Yes, I had imported an older version of postgres.so from the OpenACS, but haven't had time to work on it. I'm probably going to start from scratch with a fresh copy from OpenACS and import it. I want to centralize the AOLserver modules to one location, but not sure the OpenACS folks would be satisfied maintaining it at SourceForge, since they already have their own software development manager. /s.

Re: [AOLSERVER] The Next Module -- nscache

Re: [AOLSERVER] Two modules for AOLServer available
I've been chatting with Vlad offline. After reviewing the two modules, I'll be importing them into AOLserver's CVS tree shortly, probably next weekend. This review will include renaming modules (i.e. nsmail to nsimap, or nsimapc, c=client) and anything else that needs to be done. Vlad's already told me he has no heartburn with maintaining the modules from SourceForge. I'll be adding him as a committer when I import the modules. I'll let you all know what I'm doing so I can get some feedback from the community before I import them and create a release package. If you have any suggestions between now and then, post to the list or send to me directly. Anybody else have any modules they want to throw in the bag? /s.
