From A to Zoop says the required Pear libraries are provided
as a download, but on the SourceForge download page
there is no separate download for the Pear libs; nor are they
present in either the framework or skeleton download.
Nor do the subversion instructions work.
For the three svn downloads the instruction say to use:
svn co "https://secure.supernerd.com/svn/zoop/zoop/trunk" zoop
svn co "https://secure.supernerd.com/svn/zoop/apps/skeleton/trunk" zoop_skeleton
svn co "https://secure.supernerd.com/svn/zoop/lib" zoop/lib
All three fail with errors like:
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/zoop/zoop/trunk'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/zoop/zoop/trunk': 501 Not Implemented (https://secure.supernerd.com)
I was pretty excited after reading the documentation: looked pretty clean,
but the fact that there is apparently such a severe disconnect between
the words and the reality is not at all promising.
Explain?
Server Migration
There is currently a server migration taking place which I believe is not yet complete. This may be the issue with getting into the SVN repositories. With regards to Zoop 1.5 none of the Pear libraries are required in order to use the framework so the Source Forge download should work fine.
If you include a component which requires a Pear library, Pear Class names match the library name for download. Any missing class messages should offer instant clues to the missing pear library name which can then be installed using "pear install XXX" from the command line. Although this is not ideal what you were expecting once the server migration is complete these issues should be gone. If you require I can create a script for you to download all the Pear libraries which might be used by the components in Zoop.
The svn repository has moved!
so the new repository is at https://zoop.sourcerepo.com/zoop/zoopframework/, and I have updated the downloads page. Thanks!
