-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 > I am currently looking into the possibility of having the package > hosted on a website for software developers. I am pleased to announce that the Savannah developers' website (https://savannah.gnu.org/), which is part of the Free Software Foundation's GNU Project, has agreed to host the IWF Metadata Harvester as a non-GNU package. The project's main page at Savannah is here: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/iwf-mdh and the project website is here: http://www.nongnu.org/iwf-mdh/ Instructions for downloading the files can be found here: https://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=iwf-mdh and the CVS repository containing the files can be found here: http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/iwf-mdh/?root=iwf-mdh Using CVS makes it much easier for users to keep their local sources up-to-date, and the web interface at Savannah makes it easy to just browse through the files without having to download and/or unpack them. Nonetheless, compressed archive files containing the current sources will still be available from the following FTP server: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/gnu2/iwfmdh/ The mailing list [log in to unmask] is available for users to ask questions and get help. More information is available here: http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/iwf-mdh-help In order to keep this list spam-free, one must subscribe in order to post to this list. Postings from non-subscribers are discarded with no reply. I'm sorry to have to be so strict, but I'm afraid it's the result of experience. In recent weeks, I've been working on the sub-package `scantest', which implements an interpreter for a "Generic Query Language". It is currently a "toy" program, since it doesn't yet perform any useful work. However, it may nevertheless be of interest to some readers of this posting. When the executable (`sct') is called, it reads a file of commands and executes them according to a set of rules, which comprise the grammar of the language. The author has used GNU Bison, a "compiler generator", to create the interpreter. More information can be found in the file `iwf-mdh/scantest/README': http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/iwf-mdh/scantest/README?rev=1.4&root=iwf-mdh&view=log or http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/gnu2/iwfmdh/scantest/README Unlike the other sub-packages `ATest' and `ZTest', `scantest' runs under GNU/Linux. In fact, the Windows version probably doesn't compile anymore due to changes I've made while porting. The distribution contains a full set of configuration files and it can be installed in the way specified by the GNU Coding Standards, using `configure' and `make install'. That is, it works on my system. If you have trouble installing it, I'd appreciate any bug reports. The files belonging to `scantest' can be found at Savannah, here: http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/iwf-mdh/scantest/?root=iwf-mdh In addition, a "snapshot" in the form of a compressed archive (tarred gzip) file can be found here: http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/iwf-mdh/scantest/SNAPSHOTS/?root=iwf-mdh or here: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/gnu2/iwfmdh/scantest/ Any comments, questions, or feedback would be most welcome.
