hello 

An installation of first midgard instance inside astrium GmbH has been
completetd. It for internal use for tracking user calls in combination
with new events of my solaris administration of german aerospace.
It's just for intranet and therefor cannot be seen outside for a while.
However my privat external midgard side
http://insight.kn-bremen.de/Guild
(no solaris) is still ready for logins.

The Solaris installation took about a week last week. I tried to reuse
Martin Hierlings solaris packages. Today the UTF translation required
another link again and another link was missing under
/usr/local/lib/php/extensions. Though I'm still using Martins gigantic
apache package I already used my databases that usually have to be used
from his distribution. I also used my own compilation of php4 and
mod_midgard.

The packages as they are on his site still don't run because of a
missing modul called mod_auth_pam that had to be inserted from apache's
site. The list of missing links is still long and especially UTF
conversion is again different on solaris 8.

Martin and me had a small discussion about the sense and meaning of a
binary distribution for solaris/midgard. While Martin still heads for a
package all in one and out of a box I wouldnot recommend this way. I'd
rather work on another distribution that should be as  close to the
linux/midgard distribution as possible. Therefor the packages should
include sources and rather depend on the gnu-compiler than running
without. That means that the packages should be equally named and packed
like the linux packages for midgard. The advantage would be better
support from the midgard lists and better development for different and
future solaris releases.

bye,    dieter
