[cle-release-team] 2.9 install guide totally incorrect

[Steve Swinsburg]

I just had to grab something from the install guide and noticed it is
totally incorrect. It looks like its been copied from the 2.7 one? Why not
the 2.8 one? It still references Maven 2.0, Tomcat 5.5, Sakai 2.7 code. I
hope no one has tried to use it.

This needs to be updated as a matter of urgency and should have been ready
before the 2.9.0 release went out...

I also think its far too long winded. You don't need a maven settings file,
nor to help people configure tomcat with the sub standard index.html file
in the ROOT webapp, or to show them how to install Tomcat as a service, or
even the various flags for Maven. That's all just junk that gets in the way
and makes us look like amateurs. If people want that stuff they can look up
the up to date info elsewhere.

The install guide should have:

Setup the apps you need.
Download source
Build
Start tomcat
Fin.

thanks,
Steve
