[Clipart] installing dms

[Greg Steffensen]

Thanks, I'll have to keep playing with it. After the DMS install started 
giving me hassles, I wrote my own based on Postgresql. It works (when you 
add images, it parses the svg and records the relevent metadata for 
searching). Bulk loading and dumping of images to/from the filesystem is 
pretty simple. It uses an xml-rpc interface. I've attached a command-line 
script I wrote to demonstrate the basic use (invoke it without args for 
documentation), but you can explore the API more directly via xml-rpc at 
http://141.166.232.109:8000 , and using the system.listMethods() and 
system.methodHelp() functions (the script doesn't really accurately 
represent the API anyway, it was just the easiest way to access it from the 
command line). 

The major probs with it right now are that you have to provide png previews 
of the svg yourself (having the db generate them automatically is totally 
doable, but I'm having issues with the command-line version of Inkscape... 
apparently it has to be invoked by the user that owns the running x-server), 
and I still need to provide the ability to alter metadata on the fly (so you 
can specify additional keywords, or a description, etc. when you upload an 
image). Beyond that, though, most other features are simple to add. Does 
this seem usable?
