Just checking on webpin CLI. I still can't use it. However, I'm getting a new response:
It was working for 11.2 till a month or two ago, then it stopped working. The server has probably died. For 11.3 and 11.4 it has never worked, as far as I know, probably because the server was not told about them.
Does this mean it should work, but isn't at the moment -- or -- is webpin cli still dead completely?
I think it is dead, for lack of interest. The maintainer has forgotten his kid, he doesn't even bother to remove it and tell us to forget webpin. I don't know who he is.
man webpin (on 11.4): AUTHOR Written by Pascal Bleser<pascal.bleser@opensuse.org>.
The client side scripts are simple, easy to maintain. I updated for 11.4 when 11.4 came out and likewise for 11.2, etc. The issue is the server side. From earlier list discussion, it seems like the only requirement is that somebody run a script or something on the openSuSE side to build the index that webpin uses. Logic says that once it is running, it is something a daily or weekly cron job could handle. The issue is *somebody with write permission on the OpenSuSE side* has to run it! I never dug further to find out what 'indexes' actually have to be created, but conceptually, it seems like a no-brainer. Anybody got time in their life to look into this? I've had an explosion in business in the past 30 days and I'm already that far behind on Trinity and we just made the gcc 4.5-4.6 jump so I know that is going to add more to that project. Anybody willing to look into the server side of webpin? I'll cc: pascal with this and see if he can at least give up a cheat-sheet for what needs to be done on the server side to get it working. cc: Pascal (We need your help brother!) -- David C.
