[Quixote-users] 0.5.1 tarball is missing INSTALL file
Jim Dukarm
2002-11-15
The Quixote 'setup install' omits copying several files,
including several of the demo modules (e.g. all the .cgi files and
demo.conf) as well as the entire doc folder.  If 0.6 might happen Some
Day Real Soon Now, the 0.5.1 tarball should probably just be left
alone, but some brief remedial advice or a warning just ahead of the
download link in the "Download" section of the quixote page of the
MEMS Exchange website might be helpful.

If I could take this opportunity to ask a sincere ignorant question:
What would be needed to call the 0.6 release 1.0 instead? Is it mainly
documentation? Or is the basic design of Quixote not considered stable
enough yet? As far as I can tell, the basic Quixote package is more
useful and reliable than a lot of software that has been in
"production" for a long time. And people (e.g. MEMS) are running
public web sites based on it.
