How about a PERL admin tool that supports both CGI and Tk from the same code-base? I'm willing to write it. I had a similar idea a couple of nights ago. I even had a great name for it: ConfigDig (And we all know you have to have a cool name before you can even think of starting to code... ;-) By the way, I'm neck deep in the PERL-htsearch interface as we speak (you might remember I was the one who was so gung-ho about creating one), but if I can just get all these damn dependencies worked out, I think I can get it to compile!

I've heard more than one person say that they'd think about writing something to do this, probably web/CGI based. However, the closest thing that I've seen are modified "rundig" scripts, including my multidig scripts. OK, time to put our money where our mouths are. :-) I was poking around the various open-source development bazaars just now and I saw two offers for htdig on Cosource.com, one for a SQL backend and one for using ht://Dig to index KDevelop. I'll make an additional entry. I'll pony up $75 to see someone write a useful admin interface for ht://Dig. Minimally, it would be web-based (preferably in perl), let you handle multiple databases, add URLs to a database, set a few minimal attributes like exclude_urls, and mail you when indexing is done with a nice summary message. I'll be writing up a slightly more detailed description shortly. I'll also include links to all three offers in the "Recent News" section on <http://www.htdig.org/> -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the htdig3-dev mailing list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will receive a message to confirm this. ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the htdig mailing list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will receive a message to confirm this.
