[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Hello and a question....

[James Fournie]

I've gone ahead and put up a 2.1.1 and 2.2 alpha 1 Mac client on the Sitka website here:

http://sitka.bclibraries.ca/support/staff-client-executables/community-mac-clients/

Unfortunately I don't have a 2.1 or 2.2 server to test those versions on at the moment but they should work as long as you have symlinks for rel_2_1_1 or rel_2_2_alpha1 respectively.

For example, if you want to use the 2.1.1 with a 2.1.0 sever, just add a symlink in /openils/var/web/xul something like

cd /openils/var/web/xul
ln -sf rel_2_1_0 rel_2_1_1

Generally in my experience as long as the first two version numbers (or first 3 in pre-2.0 releases) match between client and server, it should work.

We're a library service organization here in Ohio and very recently have started an Evergreen consortium.  We're working with Equinox to migrate the libraries over and so far its been pretty neat.  My question concerns the Mac client build and install.  Please pardon any duplications, but I'm trying to put together a staff client for 2.1.0.
