Hi

I have recently installed 5.2 but I now need to install the Forums application. The URL http://myhost/acs-admin/install/install?package%5ftype=apm%5fapplication&repository%5furl=http%3a%2f%2fopenacs%2eorg%2frepository%2f5%2d2%2f
does not list the Forums application.

How do I go about requesting that the Forums package is made available for OACS 5.2 ?

thanks
Robert

Forums hadn't yet been tagged as compatible with 5.2 though we know that it is. I just tagged forums and attachments (a prerequisite) on oacs-5-2 with openacs-5-2-compat so it should show up in the repository tomorrow. If you can't wait, download from the 5.2 branch using '-r oacs-5-2'.

To use the cvs command mention by Michael is this one:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot checkout -r oacs-5-2 forums

This is used to checkout for forums package that fit with oacs 5-2. The command that I give out earlier is for HEAD which the latest version release for any packages.

* Forums 1.2.0d3 requires Attachments 0.5 (only Attachments 0.1 is listed)

I believe if you go for the HEAD,you can find Attachments 0.9 already in the list. I think that it would not be a problem if you go for a higher version


* Attachments 0.1 requires File-Storage 4.6.2 (File-Storage is not listed as an available application or service, also maybe Attachments 0.5 needs a higher version of File-Storage ?)

I think that File-Storage have been made an available application for a very long time. You can always look for its version through the cvs directory.

Btw, Mohammed - according to our docs HEAD should *not* contain the latest package releases. Those reside on the current branch, i.e., oacs-5-2. There are a few exceptions to that rule (contacts, ams to name a couple) but for the most part, current releases are on oacs-5-2 and are tagged with openacs-5-2-compat.
