simplifying installation

[Markus Vaterlaus <mv...@mus.ch>]

Hi list,

while riding home on my bike an idea came up my mind: Why isn't ant, 
the recommended cocoon build and the endorsed library not distributed 
via the lenya-cvs? How about setting up a temporary directory called 
"endorsed" on top level of the Lenya CVS hierarchy? This would ensure, 
that a beginner get's everything he needs with one download (as long as 
there are no stable binaries on a regulare basis available). However, 
this doesn't solve the problems that a user might encounter setting up 
ant or a servlet container, it could really help a user in achieving 
faster a result.

What do you think about that?

Markus

Hi Andreas, hello list,

I agree with you that this should be the way to go. However, as long as 
there are that many problems w/ first time installations and no 
snapshots available, I think this is really an issue, but maybe you are 
right and people might set up Lenya with more success if there were 
better documentations. If I got it right, Alex mentioned some weeks 
ago, that he will take care of that (or did I get something wrong?).  
Therefore the question is: How is it going, Alex? And do you need any 
help?

my personal opinion is to keep the CVS as small as possible.
Everything that we include has to be maintained. I would
prefer to put better documentation on the website as soon
as possible and to provide snapshots that contain all needed stuff.
