I have pretty much given up on trying to get this to work, the more
mess I saw there the less I think I could ever run that productive.

bingo, the latter.

kinda fear we'll have a performance problem with that... dunno really.

I have somebody researching options now.
Many thanks for the help.

Do you *need* APE or just something to do Comet Push?

You can fairly easily write a Comet server in Mojolicious, plus it
supports websockets.  There may be other, better options, depending on
what you're trying to accomplish.

It's not particularly simple; apart from the messy build script
(which we can replace in the port Makefile), they use an embedded
copy of spidermonkey 1.8.5 which isn't going to build without patching
and we can't just use a newer version of spidermonkey from ports to
replace it as it's not api-compatible, so will probably need to
steal patches from an old version of spidermonkey from the Attic.

Some pieces in the attached tgz, but I suspect it's going to need
a whole bunch more..

APE Server

2014-05-07 Thread Henning Brauer
hey,

it doesn't look like we have a port for "APE Server", ape-project.org,
unless I am blind. That right?

If so, is somebody more experienced in ports willing to make one? That
might save time over having to deal with my naive porting attempts
afterwards ;)

http://ape-project.org/download/stable/APE_Server-1.1.2.tar.gz

It works on FreeBSD, should be straightforward.

Thanks!
