Bugzilla Bug 87617

Hello there,

Prewikka is the new "Prelude Management Console."
"Prewikka IDS Web Interface - A frontend to your Prelude database"

As I understand it, it is a replacement for net-analyzer/piwi, whose last version is a bit outdated.

Hi, is anybody working on this? I'd really use prewikka in portage. Since we
have all the other prelude 0.9 stuff in portage, it'd be nice to have there a
tool which manages and visualizes the results as well.

Hi,
Not that I know of, but yep, it would be nice.

Here is my prewikka ebuild ;)

I've simply added useful info in pkg_postinst()

prewikka-0.9.0_rc5.ebuild

Thanks for the ebuild.
I have a bit of a problem with the installation layout, however.

I got it to install to a more sane layout, but when I ran
/usr/bin/prewikka-httpd it complained that
/var/tmp/portage/prewikka-0.9.0_rc5/image/usr/etc/prewikka/prewikka.conf was
not found (*bad*).

See here http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2386834.html for some known issue
;)

Actually with some post-install manual adj prewikka works very well, this
weekend I'll try to create an init.d script ;)

Marcelo, for your config problem try to edit by hand the config file
/lib/python2.3/site-packages/prewikka/siteconfig.py and set the correct config
file path; on the forum there is some other infos about this issue

In src_install()

	# fix broken paths
	sed -i 's:${D}::g' \
	${D}/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/prewikka/* || die
	sed -i 's:usr/etc:etc:g' \
	${D}/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/prewikka/* || die
	mv ${D}/usr/etc ${D}

The first sed line isn't working for some reason I can't figure out right now,
but I think you get the idea. This must be fixed in the ebuild before adding the
package to the tree.

Hi, I'm constantly getting this error - any ideas?

preludedb.PreludeDBError: Cannot load sql plugin

I emerged preludedb with -debug -doc -mysql +perl +postgres +python.

> preludedb.PreludeDBError: Cannot load sql plugin
How about enabling the mysql flag?

Is that absolutelly necessary? I want to use postgres. I don't have any mysql
stuff and I don't want any.

I don't know. Maybe prewikka _requires_ mysql in preludedb?
If it is so, the ebuild will have to require it as well.

According to https://trac.prelude-ids.org/wiki/InstallingPrewikka you can
install prewikka either on MySQL or on Postgres. I really don't think MySQL si
necessary neither for prewikka nor for libpreludedb.

Btw I had to install dev-python/pypgsql manually and I think this should be
required as a dependency by the ebuild when using postgres and prewikka,
shouldn't it? That didn't solve my current issue though.

version commited - please confirm it works for you. 

works here

Thanks Jan!
