Hi All,
For those who may be interested, I have released a substantially changed
version of 'whereami'.
The major changes are that:
- Detection is now handled from a single configuration file, rather
than from having to write a bunch of small scripts.
- The program is now written in perl, rather than in a shell script,
which should give a lot more room for expansion. The perl script allows
quite a lot of improvement already.
- Much improved man pages.
Having all configuration in two files (/etc/whereami/detect.conf and
/etc/whereami/whereami.conf) means that I can hope to work up some kind
of a GUI to help the less technically minded configure things. This
won't happen for some time though.
I've given this a reasonable bashing for about six weeks now (with some
help from expert bug hunter Chris Halls :-), so it should all work.
Yeah right!
Regards,
Andrew.
PS. For those who already have configurations set up for the old
whereami I have left it in place, with a debconf question allowing you
to continue with the old operation. This will be removed in a version
or two.
