dbpack

Table of Contents


General

dbpack is a meant to be a set of perl scripts to provide a modulare interface to databasees of various information. Currently this includes modules for common user information, bibliographic references, and file storage. The information is stored in a postgresql database and interfaced via mod perl. In theory, with complete documentation, a front end could be written in other languages. The beginnings of the documentation can be found in the ./doc sub directory.

Currently this project is being hosted on savannah/dbpack.

Modules

Currently there are three modules available: cudb, rmdb, and fs.


Look

"Jesus man have you no taste? this looks goat droppings!". Everyone has their own idea on what looks good, and mine is definitely not shared by the rest of the world. In order to better incorporate the database scripts into your website, the ability to apply templates has been incorporated into dbpack. This was inspired by wiki and uses a similar layout. Information on how to implement templates can be found in the manual.
