Hi! Please find attached videodb-2.0.2.ebuild conforming to the webapp class. VideoDB is a really cool PHP application for managing your video collection. It mirrors the Ant Movie Database functionality, but is still under active development, and exists as a server based solution rather than an application you run under your desktop. The project home page is available at http://www.splitbrain.org/Programming/PHP/VideoDB/ where you can also take a test drive of a limited version of the package (without pictures or details). If you'd like to see an example of a full featured version of the installation, please note that my email address (in the CC field) consists of the first letter of my first name followed by my last name as a sub-domain in the .com address space. My copy of the software installed by ebuild is available at dvd.mylastname.org The software uses mysql, and I suggest www-apps/videodb as a group. Thanks, Douglas Mayle

This also works great for 2.0.4, just rename change SRC_URI from 2_0_2 to 2_0_4. HOWEVER app-www did not work for me (maybe because it doesn't exist in /usr/portage) so put it in app-misc instead. The easiest way to get the application running with the default apache2 configuration is: # cp -r /usr/share/webapps/videodb/2.0.4/htdocs/ /var/www/localhost/htdocs/videodb # chown -R apache:nobody /var/www/localhost/htdocs/videodb # firefox http://localhost/videodb/ The web-based installation script works great EXCEPT don't assign a prefix name for the tables! Just leave that last field blank, otherwise it won't work.
2.1 was just released. The current ebuild seems to work fine if you rename it and change the version number in the file.
Hi, videodb is now in our unofficial overlay: http://svn.gnqs.org/projects/gentoo-webapps-overlay/browser/www-apps/videodb/ Please note that the overlay is unofficial, not a Gentoo project, and not supported. It is intended to provide easier access to new web applications. Detailed instructions for use are forthcoming.
