Hi Graham,
I'll let others answer most of your questions, but in answer to your
first question:
First question: Are git://git.evergreen-ils.org/OpenSRF.git and
git://git.evergreen-ils.org/Evergreen.git the repositories for Evergreen 3.0
and the associated version of OpenSRF?
git://git.evergreen-ils.org/Evergreen.git is the master version of
Evergreen which will eventually become Evergreen 3.0. However, there is
no Evergreen 3.0 yet and there won't be one until September when the
beta version of 3.0 is scheduled to be released. You certainly can run
Evergreen master rather than an official release - I've known a couple
of other systems that have done so in the past. However, I also wanted
to point out that you can run the 2.12 release with the web client.
There is no need to use the xul client on the 2.12 release if that is
your primary reason for looking at 3.0.
Whatever direction you choose, good luck with your trials!

Hello
I've started trialling Evergreen 3.0 for managing a private library. We
previously tried Evergreen 2 but the XULRunner based staff client didn't work
for us. It's a small library with only a couple of customers, so we're happy
to risk beta software.
First question: Are git://git.evergreen-ils.org/OpenSRF.git and
git://git.evergreen-ils.org/Evergreen.git the repositories for Evergreen 3.0
and the associated version of OpenSRF?
Second: My server runs Gentoo Hardened linux. Has anyone written Gentoo
ebuilds for Evergreen? Similarly, has anyone written SELinux profiles for
OpenSRF and Evergreen? If not, I'll write them myself.
Third: Assuming I have to write the ebuilds and profiles myself, is anyone
else interested in them? If they are I can do them neatly and make them
available.
Forth: Are there any extra steps beyond the standard upgrade instructions for
migrating old data to Evergreen 3? I can't remember which specific version we
last tried, but it would be good to keep that data.
Thanks for your help
Graham
