Sorry, I needed a faster response than this and have registered with
Sourceforge when it appeared you weren't acting on my request.

Thanks and I'll fix the things you mention,

Eric

Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

First, "Linux" is just a kernel of a more complex system that we like to refer to as GNU/Linux, to emphasize the ideals of the Free Software movement.

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html.

Second, in order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the GNU GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every copyrightable file, usually any file more than 10 lines long ( e.g: scripts/DeleteDocument, scripts/FullList).

In addition, please include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL, available from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt, into a file named "COPYING".

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

Third, the address of the FSF has changed, and is now:

  51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA

Please update your license notices.

You can find some background and a possible migration script at https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=3766

Cheers

Full Name:
----------
  DocDB

System Group Name:
-----------------
  docdb

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software & documentation

License:
--------
  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  DocDB is a powerful and flexible document database.

The document database consists of three parts: a relational database which stores information about the documents, a file system hierarchy used for storing the documents themselves, and a suite of CGI scripts which provide coherent access to both sets of information.

    * DocDB maintains a versioned list of documents in a MySQL database. Information maintained in the database includes, author(s), title, topic(s), document date, revision number, abstract, keywords, document type, pointers to the actual document files, and access restriction information.
    * Access to DocDB is controlled by cgi scripts that run on your web server.
    * When a document is submitted to DocDB, the document is copied (from either local disk or an html address) to a directory located on the web server. Documents may be composed of several files.
    * Documents are copied to a central location so that they will not "disappear" when someone rearranges or deletes files. This also enables centralized backup.
    * Changes to a document result in a new version of the document, providing historical archiving.

DocDB is available under the terms of the GNU Public License and runs primarily on Linux using Perl and MySQL. Instructions for obtaining the source code from CVS can be found at http://docdb.fnal.gov/doc/install-docdb.html




Other Software Required:
------------------------
  MySQL
Perl
various Perl modules from CPAN
