I switched it from using Postgresql to SQLite, which should make it perform better and be easier to install/maintain/play with.

I forgot to mention one dependency though; you also need the Python bindings for libxml2. The API it uses isn't particularly well thought-out, but changing that sort of thing takes minutes at most. </p> <div><br> </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Interesting that you rapidly built a new implementation.

Hmmm...I'm curious. </blockquote> <div> </div> <div>Nah, it generates PNG renderings when you insert images; I expect that generating them dynamically would be far too expensive to be used in production. Its currently setup to create two; one 100 px wide, another 500 px wide. The idea is that you can display the small one when users are searching (either through the website or through my gtk interface), and the large one when they want to preview individual images (again, through either interface). I'm trying not to use the actual SVG for large previews because I've had major issues with librsvg's rendering of ocal images, as other recent list discussions have verified. </div><br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">How are you progressing on this now? Also, have you had any luck with<br>DMS?</blockquote> <div> </div> <div>I've still not succeeded installing DMS, but part of the reason is that I have very little experience with perl. Bryce is helping me out, I'm sure I'll get it worked out in the next few days. Regarding this sql based DMS, it works. Until ocal aquires several gigs of data, I'd suspect that you'll get better performance by storing the content in an sql database that keeps everything in a single file, like sqlite or mysql, as opposed to using the filesystem, simply because the content will be more likely to located on a contiguous area of the disk; this may have something to do with the poor performance for navigation queries that has been discusssed. Check the system I linked to out; its xml-rpc based, which, I think, is much easier to develop for than SOAP. The major features are implemented; inserting an image causes metadata to be indexed and png previews to be generated automatically, you can search by category/author/keyword (including boolean logic), its simple to notice/prevent duplicate images from being inserted. The major feature I still need to implement is allowing metadata to be altered dynamically (adding new keywords when you insert, or after), but that shouldn't be too hard to add. Even if DMS is still the way you want to go, we may be able to use something like this for indexing to help with search performance. </div> <div> </div> <div>Greg</div> <div> </div><br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Jon<br>><br>> On 7/5/05, <a href="mailto:aaron@ekips.org">aaron@ekips.org</a> <<a href="mailto:aaron@ekips.org"> aaron@ekips.org</a>> wrote:<br>> Greg Steffensen wrote:<br>> > Hey all, I've been trying to get DMS installed, haven't had<br>> any luck.<br>> > CPAN installs Config::Simple, Webservice::TicketAuth::DBI, <br>> and<br>> > RDF::Simple correctly, but then running make, and then make<br>> test<br>> > produces errors, which I've pasted below.
