How to install forrest 0.9
Hi,
after a long time without using Forrest I'm trying to redo my website
with it but I'm failing. I'd like to use the current version, 0.9. The
problem is that I don't know how to install it. I've downloaded the
apache-forrest-0.9-sources.tar.gz and
apache-forrest-0.9-dependencies.tar.gz. as it is said in the link
http://forrest.apache.org/mirrors.cgi
But when I unpack those archives both of them have the same name
(apache-forrest-0.9). So I can't leave both of them on the same
folder. I've tried to put the dependencies package inside (and at the
top level) of the sources package but then forrest refuses to run.
I've tried the opposite with the same result. I'm sure I'm failing in
an obvious way but i don't see my mistakes. Sorry if this is a stupid
question but, could somebody tell me how install forrest 0-9 properly?
TIA
PS: I want to use the dispatcher plugin.

Thanks David, with your help I've been able to install forrest-0.9.

Not a silly question. We tried to clarify the notes on
that page already. It seems that it needs another tweak.
Do this:
cd to your-installation-directory.
Unpack the "sources" there.
Stay in that directory.
Unpack the "dependencies" there too.
This will append the extra bits into the
appropriate locations.

Please ask about that in a separate thread.
I wrote a Quickstart document a long time ago
which did work at that time. However things changed
and it probably needs tweaking. There was some
discussion in the mail archives. Some other Forrest
committers do use it, so they should be keen to
help you to update it.
