The system is fairly typical in its evolution - growing in place with pieces being added as the need or desire becomes obvious, rather than deriving from a waterfall specification and implementation programme or controlled iteration.
Yeap - I prefer nicely controlled iteration, but hey TCL is made for hacking around with these things. Seems to run like a dead dog, that is probably something silly as Wish/TCL use to run like a dog on 3(4?)86's. I see no reason why Open Source should mean less stringent process models, works for BIND 9, it is much better than Paul's hacked about BIND 8. Of course it cost a fortune, probably writing it in C <dig dig>.
I feel that people outside the originating practice might contribute in the open source tradition to productionising it, and trying out an instal and picking out generic changes to the package that make it more likely to compile and run on an arbitrary target are probably the first valuable thing to add.
Definitely, and more documentation, boring although it maybe, unless I missed it.
My main aim however is to get a copy running so I can hammer it a bit
Works here after a fashion ;) I don't think Postgres is a problem skill, I mean I was driving in Exeter yesterday and just picked a Postgres admin up in Heavitree by Somerfields, about 100 yards from your practise, so you aren't looking hard enough ;) Python with TCL - new one on me. But then TCL and Postgres is a new one on me, and the excellent Postgres SQL to html features was a new one on the Postgres administrator (Whose eyes lit up at the thought when I told him what it could do). So much open source software so little time. -- Are you using the Internet to best effect ? www.eighth-layer.com Tel: +44(0)1395 232769 ICQ: 116952768 Moderated discussion of teleworking at news:uk.business.telework -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
