A few weeks back I'd experimented with using system icu and openssl on Ubuntu. Yesterday on the train ride home I started working on going the full way of using system everything (well, everything we haven't critically modified).
Today I finally got Chandler running using system openssl, icu, python and a bunch of system python packages. Thanks to Andi for showing me how to fix one startup issue, and for pje (a bit earlier) for telling how to get the system to use our versions of modules. I did this in a pretty hacky way, modifying the build just enough to see if I could get everything to compile. And they did. I manually copied the results into chandler/release/site-packages. I also had to get a new configobj 'cos I did not spend time figuring out how to get setuptools working. Oh, and even though I compiled PyLucene properly I think I messed up copying all the needed files so I ended up using the dummy PyLucene.py. I also created an Ubuntu installer (.deb file) for it if you want to check it out. I did not trim it like we normally do with our installers so it is slightly larger than our current installers. It is temporarily available at http://builds.osafoundation.org/chandler_0.7alpha5.dev+r12482+systempython-1_i386.deb After installing you'll find it in /usr/local/chandler-system/ -- Heikki Toivonen
