At least, not on our solaris systems. 'uname' returns SunOS.


Ok, what about adding:
ifeq ($(OSTYPE),SunOS)
OSTYPE=solaris
endif

That would work, but my question is "why is this statement needed at all?" In GNU-land it appears that the make utilities use the canonical names rather than the ones returned by the OS. When I simply comment out this section, the solaris compile works fine. Perhaps it does not on other platforms?

Also, I ran into another snag. The include file "pty.h" does not appear to exist in solaris-land, so I am seeing if there is one made available elsewhere.

In working with Stefan changes were made so that the latest release should once again cross-compile fine, and Makefile also works under Solaris. Great job Stefan!

Hi, the elog command line client does not know anything about Apache authentication, therefore the authentication with the elog username/password fails. As an alternative to the command line client you can use the "curl" utility (available under Linux). This tools has the "-u" flag, which works with Apache. The tricky thing is now to "emulate" your browser submitting an entry. You can do

$ curl -u <username>:<password> -F cmd=Submit -F Author=CURL -F Text="This is the CURL text" http://<your host>:8080/<logbook>

(of course your attributes might be different than "Author"). If you have a multiline text body, you can read that from a file (in this case "file.txt"):

$ curl -u <username>:<password> -F cmd=Submit -F Author=CURL -F Text="@file.txt" http://<your host>:8080/<logbook>

When I wrote "elog" orginiallly (199x?), "curl" was not available or at least I didn't know of. Right now it almoste completely can replace the elog tool.

I should add that this does not happen in every logbook.  I'm looking into what the distinction is that causes this in certain logbooks and not in others.

When I click on "collapse," even several times, I still see all the replies in each thread rather than just one entry representing each entire thread.

I am running elogd 3.1.5 on devuan chimaera (bullseye) which I built from source.  I had the same results with 3.1.4 and 3.1.3.

I tried to disable the quick filter just to see if that impacted the behavior, but it didn't.

If there are any other tests I can use to narrow the problem, please suggest them.  Without a working collapse feature, I cannot get a quick birdseye view of, say, all open threads.

Figured it out:  I had "Sort Attributes" set on the logbooks that were failing to collapse correctly.  At least, I think that is the distinction.  

I think I can live with "Sort Attributes" disabled; I don't recall why I chose to set the "Sort Attributes" in the first place.  But I still think this is an issue.

I also notice that collapse does not work properly if I have anything selected in the quick filter.

I am not sure if either "Sort Attributes" or the Quick Filter are the main issue, though they could be.  I have implemented a work-around for now, but it really would be nice if this worked as expected.  Or perhaps someone can provide an example of a logbook with working "collapse" functionality.  Thank you for this nifty program; everything else aside, this tool helps keep my work in order.
