Hi Jason, This sounds very good. Wolf Halton and I will kick the tires to see if we can get the "bleeding edge" demo server set up on Ubuntu 12.04. I'll also try an install on 10.04 on the Amazon cloud when you have the Evergreen install targets ironed out.

I am working on getting OpenSRF and Evergreen working on Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin). I'm working from a virtual machine installed with the alpha1 iso. Presently, OpenSRF installs and works with only minimal changes to src/extras/Makefile.install. You can get these changes from git://git.evergreen-ils.org/working/OpenSRF.git. They are in the collab/dyrcona/precise_pangolin branch. As I begin working on Evergreen, I see that Open-ILS/src/extras/Makefile.install is a bit of a mess when it comes to Ubuntu targets. The generic-ubuntu target, for instance is not actually a generic target. It does things that only certain Ubuntu releases need in addition to the actually generic bits. I will be rewriting the Ubuntu targets rather heavily. As a result, I suggest that we not attempt to backport installation support for Ubuntu 12.04 to any previous release of Evergreen (2.0 or 2.1). This should strictly be for 2.2+. Also, anyone who'd be willing to test these changes on 12.04 and/or 10.04 would be most welcome. Cheers, Jason Stephenson
