Hi everyone, I've been using bookmarker with woody for years now and I like it. It provides web access to a database of bookmarks (stored in posgresql in my case). The web page is here
http://www.renaghan.com/pcr/bookmarker.html but it hasn't been updated since 1998. Getting it to run was not easy: code changes, database configuration, web server configuration, etc... And it still has some problems, such as certain web pages won't get saved via quik-mark and I haven't bothered understanding the users/password/permissions sub-system that gave me so much trouble in the beginning. That aspect now runs with minimum functionality. I'm now in the process of migrating it to sarge and while looking for a package I found some references to there having been a package of 2.8 (the latest version) for unstable for a while but not since 2000. packages.debian.org is down at the moment so I can't even get to that. If there is no similar package for bookmark management that is web accessible and can be used with postgresql, I suppose I'll have to dig into the code again and figure out the user/passwork configuration issues. So the first question is: is there some package in the current distributions that does what bookmarker does? If not, is anyone running bookmarker? Since it appears to have been orphaned since 2000, is there any interest in fixing it up for sarge and modern dependencies? (php4, postgresql, apache2, etc...) It is likely that some bugs, like certain pages not saving, are actually hard to fix or they would have been fixed a long time ago. Also any automated configuration on package installation might be tricky or difficult since so many external packages depend on having specific settings for bookmarker to work. Ok, the basic questions now are: o is there an existing, modern debian package of something that does what bookmarker does? o is there a modern, maybe non-debian-packaged, program out there that does what bookmarker does? (not commercial, of course) o is there any iterest in resurrecting bookmarker as a debian package for sarge? o does anyone that might have been involved with debianizing bookmarker back in 2000 care to provide some pros/cons as to why I should make a package of it or not even bother?
