Re: Port Request - Asset Tracker for RT
This is in response to your port request from Fri Apr 11 13:28:17 UTC 2008: This turning out to be a lot of work (I was trying to port it over to pkgsrc actually since I'm not deploying it on FreeBSD atm. The main issue is having to rewrite/patch the entire upstream Makefile/ Makefile.in in order to split up the html into LOCALBASE/share/rt and the appropriate perl into SITE_PERL and the config files into LOCALBASE/etc/rt. Now, In the pkgsrc world, we don't put RT's libs into SITE_PERL, but they go in PKGBASE/lib/rt3 and by default we tell RT's configure that local RT modifications are in /var/rt3. I've resigned myself thus far to having AssetTracker's lib and html live in /var/rt3 and the etc files in PKGBASE/etc... It's another few steps (read: patching of AT's Makefile) to better integrate AssetTracker so that its libs and html live in the correct spots in pkgsrc; if I ever get around to that, then perhaps we can throw in the SITE_PERL hack, but my client is itching to get his AssetTracker instance up so I may just settle with what I have... Trying to use existing p5-RT* portfiles as templates doesn't map well onto AssetTracker, mostly because it makes assumptions that everyone is installing their RT into the monolithic /opt/rt3 layout... -- === Peter C.

Port Request - Asset Tracker for RT
Hi, I know I asked about port being done for this over a year ago and got some response from the package author and a porter, however, I still don't see it. Also, the package has become quite popular and I really wanted to install it on my RT system. However, I HATE putting non-ports on a machine. (It clutters things up.) Anyhow, the software is now at version 1.2.3 and is located here: http://code.google.com/p/asset-tracker-4rt/ and before someone asks, I don't have the time to create and/or learn how to create a port. ( I hope to retire in about 14 years. I'll have plenty of time then.)
