Author: Tobias Ferber, Harald Kunze
Uploader: ukjg@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de (Tobias Ferber)
Type: comm/misc
Replaces: MirrorMan.lha
******************************************************************************
* Changes
******************************************************************************
+ The new tool AMM has been added to the distribution! AMM reads ADT index
files of type adt-v1 and adt-v2 and expands macros in script files with
information taken from those files!
+ The documentation had been generally revised and some major improvements
have been made.
+ Some minor changes in the ARexx scripts have been made, especially since
the format of the human-readable INDEX and RECENT has changed a little.
******************************************************************************
* Overview
******************************************************************************
-> PLEASE SUPPORT SHAREWARE AND REGISTER TODAY! <-
MirrorManager is a management system for downloads from your Aminet site.
Here is a short overview of what MirrorManager can do for you:
+ Scan the files in your incoming directory and add filenotes according
to the `Short' information given in the Aminet INDEX file
+ Create the Aminet directory hierarchy on your system (your local Aminet
mirror) from the Aminet TREE file
+ Move the files in your incoming directory to your local Aminet mirror
directory tree
+ Create a LOCAL index file from the files available in your Aminet mirror
directory tree
+ Compare your LOCAL index file with the actual Aminet INDEX file in order
to find changes and new revisions
******************************************************************************
* Installation
******************************************************************************
You are strongly urged to use the supplied installer script to install
MirrorManager!
(1) The supplied installer script will create a `MirrorManager' directory
and copy the desired files coming with this package into it.
(2) If you installed the GUI application then you also have to tell
MirrorManager about a number of path and filenames.
Click the Configure icon in the MirrorManager/rexx/ drawer to do this.
NO OTHER MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR SYSTEM WILL BE MADE !
******************************************************************************
* Requirements
******************************************************************************
(1) You need MUI if you want to have a GUI (:
(2) You should have the actual Aminet INDEX and TREE file
******************************************************************************
* Notes
******************************************************************************
+ THIS IS A BETA VERSION !!!
Read the History and Distfiles for more information!
+ The docs are not yet updated, they are still as of version 1.5
We know that! Please do not report it!
+ I've included my default configuration script in rexx/MirrorManager.rexx.
This script contains absolute pathnames for my personal installation only!
Please edit this script and change these values if needed before you use it
or use rexx/Configure to setup MirrorManager for your system.
+ Example data files which can be used with some scripts like CleanupIncoming
and ExamineIndex can be found in the `xtras' drawer.
+ Here is how to read the archive filename:
