After a somewhat longer than intended hiatus, I’m pleased to announce
the release of RTFM 2.1.20, designed to run atop RT 3.4.2 or later.
RTFM 2.1 is a significant overhaul of RTFM. Something like 40% of the
code has been ripped out and we’ve added a bunch of new functionality.
There’s now a “topic hierarchy” for articles and rather than having its
own custom field and configuration system, those two things have been
integrated with RT’s core systems. RTFM now uses RT’s custom fields
system rather than its own. This means that RTFM now supports file and
image attachments in addition to all the things it already supported.
As this is the first widely announced release of this branch of code,
there are likely to be bugs and we certainly want to hear about them.
You can download RTFM from:

I also had to install YAML module to do the upgrade.

Hi -
I’m wondering why the RTFM installation puts stuff in the local directory
branch - here’s what I get from ‘perl Makefile.PL’ - everything except the
mason stuff goes under local.
Thanks,
Steve
Using RT configurations from /var/rt3/lib/RT.pm:
./bin => /var/rt3/local/bin
./etc => /var/rt3/local/etc/FM
./html => /var/rt3/share/html
./lib => /var/rt3/local/lib
./po => /var/rt3/local/po/FM
./sbin => /var/rt3/local/sbin
For first-time installation, type ‘make initdb’.
Checking if your kit is complete…
Looks good
Writing Makefile for RT::FM

That’s a Module::Install::RTx-ism. I’ve recently started helping
Autrijus out with development on the module. (It’s now in the Best
Practical svn repository). Autrijus, is there a flag to use the
non-local directories?

I would also very much like Module::Install::RTx to allow installation
directories to be overridden. I’ve got some local patches to do this,
which I found necessary when packaging up this stuff to run rt+rtir
for debian (i.e deb package creation rather than direct installation),
and would be happy to post them if that’s the best
mechanism and people are interested.

So, as the installer, you can override them one by one. That’s docced in
the perldoc.
But I’d love to see your patches. And yeah, posting them here seems
perfectly reasonable.
