I was hoping to solve my library problem with an existing application. It is not a full professional library application that is required here, but from the experience I have had with working installations I give my congratulations to developers for a good application. If I was running a professional full scale library with a dedicated server, then Koha would be a good choice.
However I have spent a total of well over 300 hours trying to get an installation that I am happy with. In hindsight I would have been well towards an application that would have served my needs if I had put
Salvete! that
time into my own application rather than getting involved in Koha. Well, IMO that's not a particularly helpful attitude; there are a lot of hard-working folks in this community, and we don't happen to know much about your favorite flavor of LInux. For what it's worth, I just discovered the following French document for how to install Koha on Fedora:
He didn't say otherwise, Josh. He *complimented* the developers, which I tend to think is a great attitude. :) Installation issues - particularly with this problem - are not an unusual complaint in the least - it's a pain to install, plain and simple. The dependencies ought to be bundled together to make this a one, two, three process. If it's the case that LibLime doesn't want to make for an easy installation for financial interests, that's fine. But Fedora is not a strange distro in the least, nor is the complaint that it's too hard to install far afield. Cheers, Brooke
