I've gone ahead and put up a 2.1.1 and 2.2 alpha 1 Mac client on the Sitka website here:
http://sitka.bclibraries.ca/support/staff-client-executables/community-mac-clients/ Unfortunately I don't have a 2.1 or 2.2 server to test those versions on at the moment but they should work as long as you have symlinks for rel_2_1_1 or rel_2_2_alpha1 respectively. For example, if you want to use the 2.1.1 with a 2.1.0 sever, just add a symlink in /openils/var/web/xul something like cd /openils/var/web/xul ln -sf rel_2_1_0 rel_2_1_1 Generally in my experience as long as the first two version numbers (or first 3 in pre-2.0 releases) match between client and server, it should work. ~James Fournie BC Libraries Cooperative On 2012-02-08, at 11:55 AM, Tony Bandy wrote: > Hi all, > > Me again...thank you for your assistance, I will give these a whirl and see > what I can come up with.
