Turns out a2server-help isn't actually a script, it's actually a text
file which is more'd by an alias of the same name. We could cleverly
replace that alias with a very clever shebang line, but ... principle of
least resistance.
This is perhaps less than ideal, but it should make the scripts work in
any web directory you put the repository into. As such, this should be
considered part of the "initial state" trying to match Ivan's current
non-SCM setup. We can adjust this later if he does something different
on his end.
Ivan's precompiled binaries of nulib2, The Unarchiver, and netatalk for
Debian and Raspbian aren't going to be part of this repository, so I've
reverted to hardcoding Ivan's server as the source of those things.
We could perhaps download and compile nulib2 and The Unarchiver, and
we'd have to if the script doesn't recognize Debian/Raspbian. Ideally
for those systems we'd download .deb packages with full and proper
dependency tracking, but we'd still need source for use on non-Debian
systems, should we ever develop support for those. (OS X is a good
candidate for such a system?)
Added shell variable A2SERVER_SCRIPT_URL which allows you to replace
Ivan's server with another URL for development. If unset, scripts will
default to "http://appleii.ivanx.com/a2server/" as usual.
This will not allow you to use these scripts for development directly,
and in fact may have been over-zealous in removing hardcoded ivanx
links. Also, Ivan's webserver has a slightly different layout than this
repository because I haven't tried to make this an apache directory
structure full of mixed HTML, scripts, .htaccess files, etc.
This reflects Ivan Drucker's current A2SERVER scripts as of 2015-Oct-01,
version 1.24. These are unmodified and cannot be directly used yet. A
later patch will begin correcting that, but a baseline is important.
