Q: When will dotLRN be compatible with PostgreSQL?
- We have focused our initial development on Oracle - compatibility for MIT Sloan. We have made significant headway - in PostgreSQL compatibility, and we (OpenForce) intend to use - dotLRN on PostgreSQL. Full PostgreSQL support is imminent, and - all progress will immediately appear in the CVS tree. + PostgreSQL compatibility porting continues rapidly and will be + completed in the coming weeks. A partial port is in the CVS + tree, with more progress daily.
Q: Can I use ACS Classic 4.2/4.3?
- You can try, but we haven't done any testing with ACS Classic, - nor do we intend to. We suspect that the numerous improvements - made to OpenACS over the past few months will make dotLRN - incompatible with ACS Classic. - + Due to numerous fixes and enhancements made by the OpenACS + developers, dotLRN will not work with ACS + Classic. However, ACS Classic and OpenACS are similar enough + so that code and skills based on one are very transferable + to the other. +
Q: Can I get a tarball of the dotLRN CVS?
- Yes, with major caveats. We don't make up-to-date tarballs of - the code regularly during this early phase of development. - Currently, dotLRN CVS requires the most recent OpenACS - development CVS, both of which change on a daily basis. This - means that unless you have up-to-date CVS from both sources, - chances are good that your dotLRN installation will - not function! And since the dotLRN tarball below is - not up-to-date, it won't function either. So why offer it for - download at all? Well, the only use for this is if you want to - read not quite the latest code but not actually use it. + Contact us at dotlrn@openforce.net if + you are interested in a tarball. + -
- - Please don't tell us this dosen't work. We - already know that. :) Also, remember there is NO - BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY with this code. - - dotlrn-core-apr-3.tar.gz - - - -
