Use Drupal to empower your OSS project community
Fri, 07 Mar 2008 09:00:00 GMT
When I started my tenure as marketing lead for the Haiku project in 2006, my highest priority was to renovate the project's Web site. Haiku had been using a custom-coded site which was showing its shortcomings as the project and the community grew in size. The admins wanted a new site that was easy to add content to and maintain, preferably based on an open source content management system (CMS) with a proven track record. The Web team chose Drupal 4.7 for the task. After working with the web team and a few other contributors for a few months, I built Haiku a new Web site that included not only more content, but most importantly more participation from the community. A few months months ago, when I helped start a Haiku user group in the San Francisco Bay Area started, I set up the NORCAL-HUG Web site using Drupal 5.0. In both cases, I learned how to use Drupal as a tool to empower communities, so that they become more participative and engaged in your project.

perlhaiku5.18

PERLHAIKU(1)						 Perl Programmers Reference Guide					      PERLHAIKU(1)

NAME

       perlhaiku - Perl version 5.10+ on Haiku

DESCRIPTION

       This file contains instructions how to build Perl for Haiku and lists known problems.

BUILD AND INSTALL

       The build procedure is completely standard:

	 ./Configure -de
	 make
	 make install

       Make perl executable and create a symlink for libperl:

	 chmod a+x /boot/common/bin/perl
	 cd /boot/common/lib; ln -s perl5/5.18.2/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so .

       Replace 5.18.2 with your respective version of Perl.

KNOWN PROBLEMS

       The following problems are encountered with Haiku revision 28311:

       o   Perl cannot be compiled with threading support ATM.

       o   The ext/Socket/t/socketpair.t test fails. More precisely: the subtests using datagram sockets fail. Unix datagram sockets aren't
	   implemented in Haiku yet.

       o   A subtest of the ext/Sys/Syslog/t/syslog.t test fails. This is due to Haiku not implementing /dev/log support yet.

       o   The tests lib/Net/Ping/t/450_service.t and lib/Net/Ping/t/510_ping_udp.t fail. This is due to bugs in Haiku's network stack
	   implementation.

CONTACT

       For Haiku specific problems contact the HaikuPorts developers: <http://ports.haiku-files.org/>

       The initial Haiku port was done by Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>.
