Where can I get Scoop

You can download the latest release tarball: scoop_1.1.8.tar.gz You can grab the nightly build. Note: This is generated automatically from the current CVS, and may not be reliable! Get that here: scoop-1.1-nightly.tar.gz The developers strongly recommend CVS as the primary way to obtain Scoop, since releases tend to have pretty long delays between them. If you have CVS installed, do the following: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@ scoop.versionhost.com:/cvs/scoop login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ scoop.versionhost.com:/cvs/scoop co scoop The above is two commands; each one must be on a single line. When prompted for a password for anonymous, enter 'anonymous' (without the quotes). For more CVS info, "Open Source Development with CVS" is an excellent online reference.

Where can I get help

There are several sources of information and support for Scoop. The first place to look is the scoop-help mailing list. You can browse the archives, or join the list. If you want to post a question, joining the list is strongly recommended. You can also join the #scoop IRC channel on SlashNET. For documentation, there is the (largely complete) Scoop administrator's guide. You can also read the current README and INSTALL files, from Scoop WebCVS (username and password are both "anonymous"). The admin guide is also included with Scoop, in the doc/ directory. If you have new feature ideas or requests, or descriptions of something you're working on for Scoop, this site is the place to submit them. You can also search this site for information. If you want to get your hands dirty, or have any questions about developing for Scoop, there is also the Scoop-dev list. You can browse the archives, or join the list. Bug reports and patches should be filed on the Scoop Bug Muncher. If you have any problems with this site or your user account, e-mail the Admin

All rusty's base are belong to me

Just letting people know that I am now running the scoop.kuro5hin.org server. Rusty and I talked about it and determined that he was busy enough with kuro5hin.org, and that I didn't have enough to do ;-) So now I'm upgrading scoop here, and just letting you all know that things might get a little wonky for a bit, as I upgrade it from the January 3rd cvs.. Update [2001-3-13 11:4:52 PST by hurstdog]: ok the update seems to have gone well, if you see anything odd, post it below. (15 comments) Comment >>

Polls attached to stories
By bbatchel , Section News [] Posted on Sun Feb 11, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST
I have noticed in my scoop site that polls which are attached to a story, their entries in the pollanswers table are set to NULL (votes column). This then screws up voting. (11 comments, 95 words in story) Full Story >>

drupal 1.00-rc1 released
By Dries , Section News [] Posted on Mon Jan 01, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST
Somewhat in response to my previous anouncement (see K5 comment) I'm pleased to announce that, after much travail and on this first day of the new millenium, there is a source code release of "drupal" available under terms of GNU General Public License (GPL). Drupal is a content management and discussion engine written from scratch (using PHP) for drop.org and hence suitable to setup a news-driven community or portal site just like Scoop, PHP-Nuke, ThatWare, Slash, SIPS and so on. The source code of the first release candidate for version 1.00 is available at: http://drop.org/drupal/drupal-1.00-rc1.tgz (10 comments, 218 words in story) Full Story >>

Recent bugfixes/updates
By rusty , Section News [] Posted on Tue Dec 19, 2000 at 12:00:00 PM PST
Despite my silence around here (or perhaps because of it!) I have been at work tweaking Scoop stuff lately. The summary is, there's a new scoop.sql file in CVS, there have been a bunch of bugfixes in how cid links work, and of course, the ratings info is now visible. Read on for more info.

Scoop.kuro5hin.org returns at last!
By rusty , Section News [] Posted on Mon Dec 04, 2000 at 12:00:00 PM PST
After a rather too-long hiatus, the revamped scoop.k5.org is at last back on the net. Now all those who post feature requests on Kuro5hin itself may again be chastized as they so rightly deserve. See below for some pertinent info on the new site. (16 comments, 224 words in story) Full Story >>
