[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Evergreen 2.0 alpha4 new sidebar facets

Fri Oct 15 08:03:23 EDT 2010

I'll second that installation on Lucid on both x86 and x64 architectures using the instructions for Debian Squeeze went without issue for Alpha4.  How this installation would act under a production transaction load (especially the extreme heat of PINES ;-) ) is yet to be seen.  I eventually plan to use something like Bill Erickson's constrictor.py to test such things, but at this point I've really just tested installation itself.
