 for this purpose in the office we are trialing Unison which seems to do
 something similar and handle it all through an easy to use GUI.
 http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/

Unison is a general file-syncing program, so doesn't handle the application
level issues with mail.

  * One IMAP server which is the 'primary' mail repository. Most IMAP
clients don't sync both ways though. isync syncs a single local
Maildir folder with a remote IMAP repository in both directions, but
that's not very useful if you have 70-odd folders like I do, or if
you don't like Maildir.

(There was also the mailsync and offlineimap programs - these are package
names in Debian too.)

Are there any relatively high level libraries that have APIs wrapping
operations on several types of mailboxes. Because, if implementing a
solution for mail syncing, a first step would be having a set of list
all the items that are new since date X, does Message-ID Y exist in
this mailbox, delete Z from this mailbox functions implemented for
Maildir/mobox/IMAP mailboxs so that you could sync regardless of mailbox
type.

Alternatively, I suppose one could extract an existing projects mailbox
code.

 GAIM is probably a better bet - Gabber relies on the jabber.org servers to
 talk to MSN, and they generally don't work. GAIM does all the multiprotocol
 stuff locally, and talks MSN, AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, etc.

Yep. jabber.org seems to be almost permanently down but we have been
using a jabber server for quick internal communication in our small
business (www.gmc.net.au). It's been a bit fiddly to set up but once
done you are almost guaranteed to get through on the clients (Gabber,
JIM, etc.) to MSN, ICQ, Yahoo

I think the UW c-client library does, but it's supposedly fairly arse.

 Message-ID Y exist in this mailbox, delete Z from this mailbox

Check offlineimap, the author thinks the algorithm he uses is pretty sweet,
and it's written in python.

[SLUG] Tricomm - CBNSW

2002-08-04 Thread Craig Warner

We've got a new undertaking, Tricomm out at Penrith.
The project outline is as follows:

- 10 workstations
- 1 server
- 1 printer

The approach to this project is going to be a little different to
current, past and most future installations. This is going to use this as an 
educational exercise for our members and any other interested individuals who 
feel they want to get more involved and would like some more hands on 
involvement and hence a deeper understanding of what goes into our builds and 
projects.

The (currently tentative) date for this work to commence is Saturday,
the 10th of August (which is the week after SLUG's Linux Workshop). If
you'd like to be involved in this install in any way, shape or form
(even you just want to be an observer) email [EMAIL PROTECTED] to find out.

There's going to be plenty of work for everyone.

Trcomm 
688 High Street (West of Mulgoa Road, last house on the left before Peach Tree 
Creek)
Penrith 

Starting at  10am

[SLUG] accessing package descriptions

2002-08-04 Thread peter bay-jespersen

(newbie-ish): I am trying to learn more about linux (Mdk 8.1) by 
(install:) deselecting everything and looking at what remains. So far 
that means reading  hand-writing the little package descriptions. But 
even so, there are so many! writers cramp strikes!  Is there any way I 
could access/print all the little package descriptions, under Win 98se ? 
(i.e., pre-install)  If not, what extra packages would i need to install 
besides above minimum to do this, and where  how to find the 
descriptions, once linux up and running?

[SLUG] 1337 file systems

2002-08-04 Thread peter bay-jespersen

* The problem is that you'll have some files that you'll want to work on 
and access both on your desktop and notebook
* computer, how do you ensure that they both have current versions and 
how do you deal with the situation where the same
* files have been modified on both computers when synchronisation is 
attempted?

I don't know about synchronisation, but perhaps this may contribute to 
your eventual solution?  In looking  at non-deselectable packages under 
Mdk 8.1,  I found  diffutils pkg  which contains:  diff,  cmp,  diff3, 
 sdiff     
... diff3 shows the differences between 3 files, and can be used where 
two people have made independant changes to a common original, and can 
produce a merged file with both persons changes and warnings about 
conflicts.   (see also: man diff3)

hmmm. rpm -qi packagename will give you the information you're looking 
for in linux. packagename can be '*' which will just give you all the 
info from all the packages on a cd say. Or, if you want to get info 
about all the installed packages use rpm -qai.

I can't think of an easy way to dump them all in win98. There might be a 
program to do it, but I know very little about windows these days. 
www.rpmfind.net has the information you want but you can't just dump it 
in one fell swoop.

In answer to your question, just the base mandrake install is enough to 
get rpm to dump all the information about all the packages on the distro 
CDs.

A nicer way to go might be rpmdrake. You load it up and by default it 
knows about all the install CDs. You click on package names and it gives 
you the description of the package in a frame on the right. If you like 
it there is a checkbox to the right of the package which you can tick. 
Once you've finished selecting packages you click install/remove and 
it will find dependencies and prompt you for the install CDs it needs to 
complete the installation.

As a sidenote I found it was a good way to work at the workshop on 
saturday. It meant that if installations were going to fail they would 
fail sooner (saves time) and meant people could customise the software 
on their box without having to know what the software was called 
(there's a search thingo as well).

HTH
