HI!
Find a new release of web2ldap on
http://www.web2ldap.de/download.html
with minor enhancements and fixes (see below).
About:
web2ldap is a full-featured LDAP client written in Python and designed to
run as a stand-alone Web gateway or under the control of a web server with
FastCGI or SCGI support (e.g., Apache with mod_fastcgi or mod_scgi).
Ciao, Michael.
web2ldap 0.11.7
Release Date: 2002-11-xx
* w2lapp.passwd:
If the schema does not allow userPassword attribute to exist
within the object classes of an entry the class
simpleSecurityObject if present in sub schema is
automagically added when the password is set.
* w2lapp.read:
Fixed supression of displaying attributes which are already
display through HTML template in a correct schema-aware way.
* Reactived code for displaying attributes of syntax
PostalAddress as multiple lines.
* Keys of the configuration dictionary
web2ldapcnf.hosts.ldap_def are handled as case-insensitive.
* w2lapp.addmodifyform:
Separate select fields are displayed for structural and
auxiliary object classes when adding or modifying an entry.
* w2lapp.addmodifyform:
If form parameter add_rdn is not given and there is only one
required attribute (except objectClass) the default for the
RDN input field (for chosing characteristic attribute) is
automagically chosen to be this attribute. The input field is
still editable though.
* Avoid erronously displaying an input field for attributes
with transfer type ;binary.
* Cleaned up the mess of using
w2lapp.schema.no_humanreadable_attr() and
w2lapp.schema.no_userapp_attr().

Subject: autoproject-0.17 released
Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2002 08:21:08 CST
I'm releasing a new version of autoproject. It now works with automake 1.7.
Here are recent entries in the changelog:
2002-11-20 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@debian.org>
* configure.in: version 0.17
* Makefile.am (distclean): "distclean" removes test directories.
2002-11-19 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@debian.org>
* Makefile.am (cleantestdirs): "clean" removes testar directory
2002-11-18 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@debian.org>
* lib/cli/c/clig/Makefile.am (foo_SOURCES): include cmdline.h, so
it's distributed.
* cmdline.c depends on cmdline.cli.in instead of cmdline.cli, so
it's not remade every time the user runs configure (since it
requires clig which the user may not have installed) (thanks to
Alexandre Duret-Lutz <duret_g@lrde.epita.fr>).
2002-11-16 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@debian.org>
* lib/cli/c/autogen/Makefile.am (bin_PROGRAMS): with autogen,
include foo-opt.h file in SOURCES.
2002-11-15 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@debian.org>
* Makefile.am (uninstall-local): honor $(DESTDIR) for more targets
(thanks to Zach Welch <zwelch@superlucidity.net>)
2002-09-17 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@debian.org>
* configure.in: version 0.16.1
* lib/cli/c/autogen/program.c (main): customize name of variable
holding options and name of header file for options. (Thanks to
Bruce Korb <bkorb@pacbell.net>)
2002-09-16 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@debian.org>
* autoproject.1: highlight the fact that autoproject supports main
programs in only a few languages.
2002-07-22 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@debian.org>
* chk (HERE): include a double quote in the description
* autoproject.in (DESCRIPTIONC): escape " in C programs
2002-03-10 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@debian.org>
* configure.in: version 0.15.1
* lib/all/all/all/gpl.texinfo: update gpl.texinfo for Y2K and new
FSF address (thanks to Ulrik Haugen <qha@lysator.liu.se>)
2002-03-09 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@debian.org>
* configure.in: version 0.15
* autoproject.in (EEMAIL): initialize NAME to empty, and put $NAME
in quotes everywhere, to handle a name with spaces (thanks to Dave
Love <d.love@dl.ac.uk>) (closes:Bug#136912)
autoproject may be downloaded from here:

from README:
autoproject - create a skeleton source package for a new program
autoproject interviews the user, then creates a source package for a
new program which follows the GNU programming standards. The new
package uses autoconf to configure itself, and automake to create the
Makefile. `make distcheck' succeeds.
The idea is that you execute autoproject just once when you start a
new project. It will ask a few questions, then create a new directory
and populate it with standard files, customized for the new project.
The version number for the new program is initialized as 0.1.0, and is
set in configure.in. It is available in C programs as the macro
VERSION, and in the Makefile as $(VERSION).
Optionally, the new package will use an external command line parser
or a parser generator. Currently, autoproject supports:
argp by Miles Bader, included in GNU C Library 2.1
clig by Harald Kirsch <kirschh@lionbioscience.com>
(see http://wsd.iitb.fhg.de/~kir/clighome/)
autogen by Bruce Korb <bkorb@gnu.org>
(see http://AutoGen.SourceForge.net/autoopts/)
I would like to support graphical user interface (GUI) as well as
command line interface (CLI) programs, but I have very little
experience with them. Contributions would be welcome.

autoproject itself is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
As a special exception to the GNU General Public License, you may

Subject: ANNOUNCE: BASH with debugger and debugging support
Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2002 08:21:00 CST
The BASH Debugger project provides a patched BASH that enables better
debugging support as well as improved error reporting. It also
contains the most comprehensive source-code debugger for BASH that has
been written. The debugger interface is a merger of the gdb and
perl5db command-line interfaces. It supports gdb/perl5's "next"/"n"
"step"/"s" "finish"/"r" "return" and "where"/"T" commands, for
example. Both emacs and DDD frontent support is available.
The project can be used as a springboard for other experimental
features (such as adding hashtables), since development is maintained
openly and developers are encouraged to participate.
For more information on the recent changes, see the NEWS file inside
the package (in bash-2.05b-debugger-0.33/debugger/NEWS) or the
sourceforge release notes. Home page is
http://bashdb.sourceforge.net
To get the source code for bashdb:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bashdb/?sort_by=date&sort=desc
Folks are encouraged to participate in development - contact me if
interested.
