[OpenICC] Oyranos - proof of concept

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

Hi,

the first proof of concept version of Oyranos is available from my site 
(see the link below and follow Oyranos left hand). 
Oyranos is intended to solve colour management configuration issues talked 
about on this list for free open source operating systems.

The current implementation was started to continue with the discussion on 
a practical base.

capabilities:

The discussed default profile directories where adopted. The suggestion of 
a MAN_PATH style variable is not implemented. Path configuration is 
possible but not yet utilised.

Default profiles can be selected by a GUI (oyranos-config-flu).


A small utility - oyranos-gamma makes a call to the separate 
liboyranos-moni.so lib to obtain, by a (poor) heuristic, the best matching 
monitor profile name.
Xcalib is called to upload the eventually contained vcgt tag to the 
graphics card. The function to set the monitor profile is currently 
utilised in icc_examin only. Oyranos-gamma can be automatically called 
from a X init script like '.xinitrc'.


To watch what Oyranos (elektra) currently does, look at the 
.kdb/user/sw/oyranos/ ... directories.

Let me know what you think. Your comments will help to make basic 
decisions, how to proceede with the configuration system.
