[Wolves] The Linux version of ACT! search continues

[ArchLinuxUser dick_turpin]

Hi All

Hey Ron (and everyone else) I found another CRM package called epesi
http://www.epesi.org/index.php/Main_Page now this looks pretty good in
that its Companies based and you add contacts to the relevant company
as opposed to most of the others like Sugar being contact based.

It is missing a fair few things that I would need which prompted me to
ask a few questions;

1. If I added a field to the mysql database, i.e. counties, would that
make the database throw a wobbly?

2. Would I need to add some code/query to the PHP (Somewhere)? There
is already a field called 'Zone' which is their version of Counties or
State but only has data if you are in the USA so when you select
United Kingdom the 'Zone' drop down menu greys out which makes me
think that's because it does not have a UK counties table.

3. If for arguments sake I did some work on the *Installed* version I
have, how would one go about repackaging that for distribution? When
writing a program (if that's the correct term) do you have to create
it in some type of 'Vault' environment? I know its not as simple as
zipping up the folder.

Now before all the bottles and bricks start hurtling towards me I do
intend to post on their Forum but I get the feeling the project might
have stagnated looking at the dates of the last posts.

Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for
intermediate and advanced Linux users. Utilising a Rolling Release
System packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a
snapshot to the stable packages at that time. So there's no need for a
fresh install the command 'pacman –Syu' upgrades the whole system.
