Installer like litespeed?

Hi Eli,
We do not have an install script, nor do we intend on making one.
Currently, we have a command line install, which can be accomplished via a few commands:
tar xvfz openlsws-xxxx.tar.gz
cd openlsws-xxxx
./configure
make && make install
We have a few reasons why we likely will not create an install script:
1. The configure script allows you to see any dependencies that OLSWS depends on that you may be missing.
2. The configure script allows you to customize the install to suit your needs.
3. Separating the configuration and compilation/installation makes it faster to apply patches in case there are any bugs that need fixing - every new patch will not require a full re-configuration, just need to recompile and install.
Regarding your second question, we do not have an Upgrade through WebAdmin option because we do not have a readily available binary for each type of system.
That said, we are discussing this internally, so this may become a feature in the future.
Thanks for all the great suggestions, make sure to keep them coming!
Kevin
