Document how to install the Validator on Red Hat systems.
Mass change documentation bug to target 1.0.
covered by http://validator.w3.org/docs/install#install-package or is that not sufficient?
Strictly speaking, Red Hat systems are not covered, but Fedora Core ones are. http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/source/#rpm Red Hat Linux <= 9 has too old OpenSP, so it falls into the "generic unix" case. The FC packages can probably be used as-is on Red Hat Enterprise Linuxen >= 3, but I don't have a system to verify that on (that's why it's not in the documentation). Setting fixed, please reopen and assign to me if you think this needs more work.
If I can get you access to a RHEL 3.0 ES box, can you verify and update the docs?
Ok.
Email me your SSH pubkey, PGP signed, and I'll set you up.
Ok, I took a look at the RHEL3 situation (thanks, Terje!), and it does not look too promising wrt. the RPMs. First, RHEL3 has OpenSP 1.3.4. It /could/ be possible to upgrade to a later one using the openjade RPM from Fedora Core X, but I believe that would not be a good idea wrt. the RHEL support contracts. Further, if/when we soon start to require Perl >= 5.8.2, that would have to be upgraded too (RHEL3 has 5.8.0). And additionally, the required perl-* rpms from fedora.us would probably have to be rebuilt on EL due to differing versioned perl @INC directories. Summary: I think RHEL users are better off building everything from source, and we should leave the validator installation docs wrt. this exactly as they are now. --> Re-setting fixed.
