Hello all. I am new to Koha (haven't even installed it yet!), so my apologies if this subject has already come up. I am a FreeBSD user, and I noticed that Koha is not available in the FreeBSD ports tree. Installing Koha appears to be fairly straightforward, but I figure if I'm going to do it, I might as well do it right and make a FreeBSD port. My question, therefore, is: has anyone ported Koha to the FreeBSD ports system? If so, does anyone know how I can get a copy of the Makefile? Also, are there any patches that FreeBSD users have found it necessary to apply? Any chance I could get my hands on those as well? Thanks in advance. -- Jared Camins-Esakov P.S. For those who don't know, the FreeBSD ports system uses Makefiles that are NOT a part of the software package that is being installed. I am not asking about any Makefiles that might be included in the Koha distribution. -- Jared Camins-Esakov E-mail: camins2@tcnj.edu
Hello Jared,
My question, therefore, is: has anyone ported Koha to the FreeBSD ports system? If so, does anyone know how I can get a copy of the Makefile? Also, are there any patches that FreeBSD users have found it necessary to apply?
I'm using Koha on Freebsd since Koha v1.x and on FreeBSD v4.7 and 5.3 Originally Koha was developed on Debian as far as I know. The differences are not to big, mainly there are some different paths, where things are usually located. I had no need to adjust code in the main-scripts for the bsd-installation, but I had to patch the installer a little bit (usage of `cp`). I think this patches should be in the actual releases yet as the are compatible to linux-shells. -- Dorian Meid
