[Announcement] Hiveconf configuration framework
by Peter Astrand 03 Jul '03

03 Jul '03

I am happy to announce the first release of "Hiveconf", a UNIX configuration framework. Hiveconf is a system for storing configuration data (key-value pairs). The purpose is similiar to the Windows registry or GConf. Configuration data can be retrieved and modifyed via a simple API. The data is stored using different "backends". The default backend is using a text file format, similiar to smb.conf or Windows .INI files. This first release includes a Python library implementation, and documentation of how the system is intended to work. Lot of work remains to be done, but the current implementation is mature enough to demonstrate the basic principles. The implementation also includes a command-line tool ("hivetool"), which might be a useful tool for configuring any software that uses a Hiveconf compatible file format. This includes Samba and many KDE applications. On the Hiveconf homepage, http://www.lysator.liu.se/~astrand/projects/hiveconf/, you will find links to the mailing list, CVS repository etc. Comments are appreciated. -- Peter Åstrand www.thinlinc.com Cendio Systems www.cendio.se Teknikringen 3 Phone: +46-13-21 46 00 583 30 Linköping

Hi I'm running debian unstable and got an error when trying to pulid/install hiveconf cos:/tmp/hiveconf-0.2# make ./setup.py build /usr/bin/env: python2: No such file or directory make: *** [all] Error 127 Debian unstable has: /usr/bin/python pointing at 2.2.3 (on my system) /usr/bin/python1.5 /usr/bin/python2.1 /usr/bin/python2.2 I wonder what the right way to fix this is :-/ I just changed the offending path in my copy. -- Fördelen med gröna sniglar är att de varken är rosa eller blå.

Version 0.2 released
by Peter Astrand 23 Jun '03

23 Jun '03

Shortly after I released 0.1, I noticed some problems with URL handling, which basically made Hiveconf unusable with some Python versions, like 2.2.2. I have now (hopefully) corrected these problems and released 0.2. -- Peter Åstrand www.thinlinc.com Cendio Systems www.cendio.se Teknikringen 3 Phone: +46-13-21 46 00 583 30 Linköping
