support SuSE 10.3

- better handling of primary library server in multi domained hosts

- need to insert the proper number of colons if it a brand new lisitng

SuSE 10.2

- check all files including the dns ones for library servers and the domain description

- error messages could run together

- wrong error given on blank domain sdescription

- switch to use dns

- change host configuration to install and maintain dns_*.tab
   - installs the specific cluster tab file, and lists myself in the hosts.tab file

- allowing - an . into domian/hostids
- allwoign much longer domains

Some SuSE 10.1 additions.

Satisfying sles10 requirements.  If a configuration variable has been left blank (e.g., Support E-mail Address) comment out the line in loncapa.conf, as PerlSetVar gives an error preventing web server startup if only one argument.

Fix incorrect split() call.

- you are configuirng the 'Server' adm email not the system email

- could end up with doubled primary lib server fields

Argh.

- removing a debug line

Allow primary library server to be specified for domain.

 allow commas in domain secriptions

- allow - and () in domain descriptions

- make option 4 sound more bad

 uwsp got a machine named capa too

Friends don't let friends set up bad machines

Trying to prevent people from making ugly choices for their domain and
machine names, like they often do. Fixing that is painful.

Just saving my work, I am unable to understand the logic of this script.

The things I change apparently do not get called.

- always get the FQDN

- BUG#2330 removal of IP from hosts.tab, and from the installation process

- Hrrm, rh 7.3 don't like the -W, plus I am curious why only 1 of the three cases tries to do a ping before doing the mail . . . anyhoo deleting these lines fix BUG#3156 and I can't think of any issues they might possibly cause.

- hey how about we test before committing :-)

Specify support e-mail address (e.g., gateway to ticketing application).

- ask about allowing, disallowing secure connections, defaults to off for now

Bug #3028: hopefully clearer explanation of the cluster options

- whilst it doesn't let you modify the new fields in domain.tab, it also no longer erases them. (BUG#1712)

- fixes BUG#2088, pings would wait for a really long time sometimes

- should now properly configure hosts.tab and domain.tab
 (doesn't support configuring lucas's extensions though)
- shoul properl install them during the make hosts_tab step

- typo

- adding configuration of user Load Lim

best wishes to all.

- Finished off BUG#1034
- tries harder to locate an existing domain description (looks in starter hosts.tab and installed hosts.tab)
- standalone mode works

- doing BUG#1034
- reversed order, now asks about cluster before asking about values
- grabs domain info from to be installed hosts.tab if it exists
- FIXME doesn't handle standalone properly yet

- removes all trailing spaces for IP address
- removes silly debugging code
- adds domain description to hosts.tab
- correctly appends a new entry to hosts.tab file rather than overwrite it

- attempting to fix BUG#1034, still doesn't pick up old values from existing hosts.tab files
- doesn't actually set the value

BUG 583 FIX; just ping several different locations; if failure then do
not send out an e-mail

BUG 649 FIX; This prevents a system administrator from ever specifying
'adm','userfiles','raw','uploaded', or 'priv' to be the lonDefDomain
for the machine.  (The goal is to avoid conflicting with namespace
underneath DocumentRoot which is necessary for emerging LON-CAPA
functionality.)

BUG FIX for #560; always check user changes of lon-capa host id and domain;
not just initial entry

ensuring that values are set for lonLoadLim, lonExpire, and lonReceipt
no matter what; also a minor typo fix; BUG 537 FIX

now makes a mailing to installrecord@mail.lon-capa.org

avoid blank spaces in hosts.tab and remove junk comments

implementing hosts.tab modification for production cluster; sending
out an e-mail based on hosts.tab modification; only one possibility
implemented for production cluster so far

allows to work with a preinstalled configuration file

improving randomizing seed

fix behavior (hosts.tab won't be installed on the first invocation
of make install on a new system)

BUG 440; using lonAdmEMail now instead of lonAdmEmail; FIX

fixing persistence of lonHostID user entry; asking for lonDefDomain BEFORE
asking for lonHostID; BUG 432

now functional; BUG 327

the power of Roxette music;
BUG 327 fixed... this should completely query
the user for information for loncapa.conf...
also adaptively has a 'new install' mode
also queries for hosts.tab settings

a step closer regarding BUG 327

grabbing lonDefDomain, lonHostID, lonAdmEmail, and lonRole

should query for machine role and also propose a "machinename" like
msul1 or something (BUG 327)

typo fix

still BROKEN (not fully operational; preliminary development)
BUG ID: 327
the user should be queried for machine configuration values
when updating software
