To deploy DomTool on a new HCoop machine:

• Install these Debian packages: mlton libssl-dev libpcre3-dev

• Change to an appropriate directory for your personal check-out of the domtool2 CVS repo and run:

cvs -d$YOU@hcoop.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/hcoop co domtool2
cd domtool2

• Run:

make

• It will fail at the very end because a shared library hasn't been installed yet. Run:

sudo make install
rm elisp/domtool-tables.el
make
sudo make install

• To make everyone's Emacs autoload domtool-mode by default, put this in /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/default.el:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/domtool-mode")
(require 'domtool-mode-startup)

• Add a local domtool user:

sudo useradd -d /afs/hcoop.net/common/etc/domtool -s /bin/false domtool

• Make Domtool's scratch directory:

sudo mkdir /var/domtool
sudo chown domtool.domtool /var/domtool

The rest to follow once AFS tools are installed to the right places on outpost.
