Weblog entry #94 for Steve
See all weblog entries made by Steve.
I've spent this evening installing Yawns (the code which runs this site) from scratch on a pristine Debian Sarge release.
Mostly painless, although I've had to make a couple of minor changes since I've been sloppy in recent coding. (i.e. always assuming there is a poll present which isn't the case for a brand new installation.)
I'll have to update the site installation instructions later. I'll post them in a weblog entry too if there is any interest.
Update: Instructions are now available:
Several people have asked about the code here, but I'm not aware of anybody actually using it "for real".
If anybody has gotten it installed succesfully I'd love to hear about it.

Installed no problems following your instructions, the only one problem was with libcgi-session-perl - I'm running Sarge on Stable, and already had your apt repository in my sources.list but it wouldn't pick up the backported version - I had to download the .deb from unstable and install that with dpkg for it to pass the module tests.
Cheers

I'm glad it worked :)
Feel free to mail me with any questions/problems you might have.
I'll work at removing the last few hard-wired email addresses & etc over the next few days.
(Most notably " Send mail to steve" in Pages.pl, when articles are editted.)

Article edit notifications now behave appropriately.
When an article is editted, regardless of who does it, a mail is sent to:
- The author of the article.
- The site admin.
(The mail contains a context-diff of the edit.)
