[gcdb-devel] branch development

[<ce...@sf...>]

Hiya,

Been a long time, but development is finally on the move in the LOWEND 
branch.  The no frills gcdb branch.   This is more of a wake up call for
me.  Looks like the main branch is also active again.  Trying to keep
the project falling out of the top 1000 :)

I've installed all the basic functionality working towards a version 1.2:
  * switch to PEAR::DB -- more unified interface to many DBs
  * Yanked specific settings out of UserID, Configure and
    will put them in UserACL.  'admin' has already been moved.
    ACL management code is available: man_uacl.php
  * New db_structure.v1.2 file is on CVS
  * Moved Bill Header/Footer inside the database to allow
    multiple bill types and assignment to customers.

  * Things are a bit of a mess, hopefully that will get
    straightened out in the future.

To view CVS via the web:
  http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gcdb/gcdb/?only_with_tag=LOWEND
  Don't let that Attic directory scare you, things still work on checkout.

Below is posted as CVS Docs on the homepage.

How to checkout code anonymously:

0. Make sure openssh and cvs are installed

1. setup your environment
export CVSROOT=:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/gcdb
export CVS_RSH=ssh

2. login
cvs login
It will ask for a password, just press ENTER.

3. download the tree
cvs -z3 co -rLOWEND gcdb

If you leave out "-rLOWEND", you will download the super duper development
branch. 

4. Coding days off: Wednesday and Sunday (Alaska time)
   [IE: this will be the best time to diff]
   If you hack on some code, get something to work or fix a bug, send
   a patch diff to me via attachment.  If its big gzip it...

   cvs diff -u > patch

Should look something like:

Index: gcdb/enteruser.php

Thanks,
Happy Hacking!
