REMOVED: removed the usage guidelines from te README file. This information
were redundant because its also contained in the manpage.
FIXED: on FreeBSD the setting of MaxLen to 'auto' had no effect because the
output of 'stty -a' which I use in note to determine the actual
size of the terminal, is different from that on linux.
ADDED: topics can now be abbreviated in interactive mode, which
avoids typing. abbreviation works only if an explicit
match could be found, otherwise the available topics that
matches will be suggested.
README for the mysql database installation for note
Requirements
============
You need the following things:
o perl installed (5.004x)
o mysql database installed and running
o Mysql perlmodule (you can find it on
http://www.mysql.org) PLEASE NOTE:
It needs the Module "Mysql". The install.sh
script will install it for you directly from
CPAN if you like. Newer versions
are DBI, which you can also use to access
mysql databases. If you want to use it, you
have to rewrite the program. Please let me
know, if you did it :-)
o permissions to create a new database and
to write data to this database.
Installation
============
First, make sure all these things above are ok.
You can use the script "install.sh" to create a new
database and the table structure. You might edit
the script before running it.
If you are getting trouble, i.e. if you have not the
required permissions to do that, please make sure,
you can.
As user root, you have to give your user the
neccessary permissions. Please refer to the mysql
documentation, how to do that.
After that repeat the step above.
You can find a sample config file within the subdirectory
"config" named noterc. There are some special values
which you can use to connect to a different database
then the default.
install.sh will create the following database:
name: user_note
Maintable: note
Number: number(int 10)
Note: note(text)
Date: date(text)
You can use the file "permissions" as a template for
modifying a users permissions to her database. Please
note, that there are different version of mysql out
there with different access privilege systems, which
are not compatible, refer to the documentation shipped
with your mysql installation to learn, how many fields
are available and what they are for.
You may also take a look to:
http://www.mysql.org/Manual_chapter/manual_Privilege_system.html
This should be all.
