i've installed from CVS. the 2.2 installer has to be rewritten almost completly, as : 1- the librarian part of the install is now done through the webinstaller 2- the config file has heavily changed (.conf => .xml)
Does anyone plan to work on that in the next 2 months ? I think MJ has talked about re-doing this, but I'm not sure about

I'm spending a bit more time on it later today (Monday BST), but the basic problem remains: How to install cgi-bin and config files neatly with MakeMaker? (or another portable solution) I really want to avoid building a new brittle installer if possible. [...]
Extensive User Testing ================== We need volunteers to test all functionality and document those functional tests. Documentation ================== We need documentation of all the new features (and translations of the ones paul has already done).
We need developers to call for tests and docs when they add stuff. Frédéric <frederic@tamil.fr> wrote:
I would also be pleased to write this script. I'd need a functional description of what it has to do.
If we had a functional description (and the default .xml and .sql files), it wouldn't be so hard to do! But, as you quote from Paul's email:
A fresh install from the CVS won't work at all, i'm almost sure. which is rather a hindrance for installer development!
The new installer will replace these steps:
* cvs checkout * koha.xml creation
but only suggest how to do this, with example mysql commands:
* empty koha_v3 db creation
and configuring the webserver, as that's where all the local differences cause problems and where we need total flexibility.
