It is not my intention to take IBM to task for what is an indisputably tremendous achievement. But DB2 is supports Ubuntu, and it IS the most widely used distribution.
Eventually, (that's all I'm saying) some attention will have to be paid to the way Debian-based distros lay out their file-system.
Red Hat and SuSE are both slightly different from each other, but add Debian in the consideration-mix and it would become a trivial task to get Notes & Dom to run on 80% of the linux user-base, supported or no. Gentoo's it's own beast, but also a proportionally small community.
7 wasn't TOO hard to get going. 8 seems a little bit more complicated. But there was a rabid group that descended upon the v7 Linux client and hammered out most of the issues. I have not seen the bloggers do the same here, likely because they are also busy testing the Windows versions and Domino for Linux, whereas the v7 client was released all by it's lonesome. One's full attention and all that...
I just want to get an Ubuntu group huddle to see what people have tried thus far.
That said, I have attempted from a terminal to use the ../convert mail/<mailfile>.nsf dwa7.ntf dwa8.ntf, but it can't find the libnotes.so which is sitting plainly in the same folder.
I also attempted to add both the /home/<username>/ibm/lotus/notes/ and /data/ folders to my PATH statement, but it still can't seem to find it, so I wonder if there is a notes-centric (or non-OS) PATH statement stored internally somewhere. Perhaps things can't be run from the terminal in the same way just yet.
Another vector of attack was to try and open up the database properties and see if I could set it that way. But Ctrl-Enter doesn't seem to do the trick before. Don't know if it just isn't working, or if it's been moved somewhere else.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
