[naviserver-devel] cleanup before first import (questions)

[Zoran V. <zv...@ar...>]

This is the current layout:

aclocal.m4  configure.in  include      install-sh     nscgi  nsdb   nspd    nsssl     sample-config.tcl  tests
ChangeLog   CVS           index.html   license.terms  nscp   nsext  nsperm  nsthread  tcl                win32
configure   doc           ini2tcl.tcl  Makefile       nsd    nslog  nssock  README    tcl2ini.tcl

a)
I would scrap entirely:
   ini2tcl.tcl
   tcl2ini.tcl
   index.html

b)
What about nsssl? I never used it. Is this something which is 
internationaly viable or is it US-only? Do people normally use
the nsopenssl instead of this beast? What do you think?
I see some ugly export notices there which are pretty old and
obsolete. 

c)
I will leave the license info in the files as-is.
Also, license.terms will stay the same (MPL).

d) 
Tests are pretty neglected, Tests require you to poke the 
server from the browser which is partly ok, but I'd rather 
do "make test" instead.
I could imagine writing test suite with the Tcl test
environment which can then be called out of the makefile
after the compilation. It might be that something should
be extra written/compiled in order to test code requiring
browser access or such. Haven't thought that much about
it yet. Only noting that the current test suite is ridiculous.
I could imagine dropping this part (except the top-level dir)
entirely and writing new test suite from scratch.

e) Docs are useless. I will however keep the files and 
will replace the content over the time as I convert stuff
found on aolserver site and on wiki into a manageable 
sources in doctools. 


So far for now. More might come... If you have any other
idea or suggestion, please step out before I commit all.
