Description

Geneweb is a genealogy software program with a Web interface. It can be used off-line or in a Web environment. It uses very efficient techniques of relationship and consanguinity computing, developed in collaboration with Didier Rémy, research Director at INRIA.

GeneWeb's strong points are the following:

• Web interface
• Dynamic display
• Relationship and consanguinity computing
• Polyglot
• Spelling correction
• Nobility titles
• Information update and protection
• Customization (background color, etc)
• Miscellaneous Features: birthdays, last births, etc.
• An example: more than 100,000 persons
• Import and export of GEDCOM files

	Tip:
	Details (in english) of the above features can be found at http://cristal.inria.fr/~ddr/GeneWeb/en/index.html

Repository Configuration

The following command will configure the AceNetTech repository on SME Server. All my contribs are now on the smecontribs repo-

To see contribs available:

yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=smecontribs list available

To install a contrib:

yum  --enablerepo=smecontribs install packagename

After adding it to the database we have to update the changes to the configuration file:

signal-event yum-modify

Install Geneweb

Install with the following command and it will install all of the required packages for you.

yum --enablerepo=AceNetTech install geneweb smeserver-geneweb

• Two packages are installed

geneweb-5.00-7.el4.sme.i386.rpm
smeserver-geneweb-2.0-1.el4.sme.noarch.rpm

• The first RPM- geneweb-5.00-*.el4.sme.i386.rpm is the latest Geneweb build (5.00) compiled for SME 7.
• The second - smeserver-geneweb-2.0-1.el4.sme.noarch.rpm integrates Geneweb into SME 7. It includes a server-manager panel to configure the IP assigned to the client machine from which Geneweb is allowed to be administered.

	Note:
	Developers are invited to help with the source of the smeserver-geneweb package. One major validation I desire currently does not work (IP_number) along with the 'must_be_local' validation already included.
