Re: curl dependency
I like the idea of having two sets of JS tests, those run as part of "make check", and a smaller suite invocable from browsers that validates the install. Towards that end, I created a branch[1], copied all the tests to test/javascript/test and tweaked the relevant bits in run.tpl. Most are unchanged, and there are only two tests that fail now, attachment_names, which looks like it might be a real bug, and attachments_multipart which requires the use of the XMLHttpRequest object. This one might possibly be fixed with some enhancements to couch_http.js or couchjs, will look more into it. Next I'll start auditing them all to see if there's other browser specific code that can be removed. We can then do the same for the browser tests in www/script/test or just replace all that completely with Jan's new stuff as the lion's share of it is moving to test/javascript/test [1] https://github.com/bdionne/couchdb/commit/adcde6c07ae3586ee779b20a24a608337f9b5957 On Jun 4, 2011, at 11:29 PM, Paul Davis wrote: > Of course!

Re: curl dependency
Of course! Granted one of the two requires that we maintain a table of data that is updated continuously and has many significant global variants and the other is a fairly static definition that can be traced back to a (relatively) deterministic set of bit patterns.

Re: curl dependency
Or we write our own code to make HTTP requests (Which isn't out of the question) and remove the curl dependency altogether.

Re: curl dependency
Its already a soft dependency. If curl isn't found all that happens is that you can't run ./test/javascript/run after you build it.

Re: curl dependency
This sparks another thought that we could have a ./configure directive that says --no-curl or something. Since we only need curl for purposes of running the developer test suite.

See the thread "Installing CouchDB on CentOS 5.6" on couchdb-user list, May-June 2011; most of it probably applies to RHEL6 as well.

curl dependency
Hi, I am trying to compile couch on RH enterprise. The official RH package for curl is 7.15, but Couch needs 7.18. I would like to know what is the best way to handle this? Is there any specific reason that Couch depends on 7.18? Can the dependency be downgraded to 7.15? Can anybody advise me on how to handle this specific dependency and other dependencies ( i.e Erlang) please? thanks, -arash
