Having an outdated copy of the source code in a subdir of the source
code was proving to be annoying--it's bitten both Ivan and I a time or
two, and we have a GitHub organization to put repositories for these
kinds of things. As such, this stuff is neither needed nor particularly
desirable where it is. It lives on here:
<https://github.com/RasppleII/orig-archive/>
self-hosted external dependency fallback; or default via A2SERVER_NO_EXTERNAL=1
a2serverrc sets default A2SERVER_SCRIPT_URL and A2SERVER_BINARY_URL
64-bit Debian precompiled binary support
support for reorganized files subdirectory
better information re unsupported OS at start of install
info about netboot at end of install
no longer deletes ~/GNUstep
install libdb5.1 and libssl1.0.0 by default instead of older versions
small tweaks and fixes regarding Debian detection, case insensitive fs, etc
updated source code path for The Unarchiver
this is internal version 1.2.8; see "release" notes about external dependencies
As Debian has gone from large to huge, actions operating on the package
database have gotten slower and slower, so it's best to do them as few
times as possible.
Here we've got the trivial optimization. A more complete optimization
requires a refactoring of code, and we're kind of in a 1.3.0 "freeze",
so let's not do that here and now.
This doesn't close the open issue on the subject, since precisely what's
under what license isn't really addressed yet, but at least the license
is specified. For those unfamiliar with the WTFPL, it's a public domain
release like CC0, except instead of trying to legally emulate the public
domain if that concept is foreign to your jurisdiction, it basically
gives all software licenses a giant middle finger.
What it lacks in finesse and niceties or in legal rigor of the CC0, it
makes up for in simplicity: Do whatever the f*** you want with the code!
It's pretty hard to misconstrue what that means. :)
