The only thing in this list that is a complete mystery to me is the SMP directory. To me SMP means Symmetric Multi-Processing, which is something that Merlin should be designed to work within from the ground up. I believe it is referring to something else, so I have to ask what.
SMP - Service Management Platform.
This subproject brings everything together and is used to create the Merlin installation. You will find all the resources like command line scripts, NT service utilities, documetation, tutorials, etc.
Description of the merlin CVS structure is detailed in:. http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/avalon-sandbox/merlin/README.TXT
You should also take look at the general documetation: http://avalon.apache.org/sandbox/merlin/
Is there any way we can avoid overloading SMP? Most people will make the same mistake I did. Perhaps Merlin Service Management (MSM) or something that isn't easily confused with a widely used acronym?
Anything is possible - but it would be low on the priority list. I have in mind some restructuring of the tutorials at some time and also enhancements to the overall installation packaging (actually thinking about a JNLP based installer that would make the entire install operation CVS independent and painless).
Cheers, Steve.
