mdw@git.distorted.org.uk Git - userv-utils/blob - README

   1 This is userv-utils.  It is a collection of utilities, scripts and example
   2 configuration files that serve both as examples for how to use userv, and in
   3 some cases, hopefully as useful programs and services.

   5 Please see each individual directory for any details, installation
   6 instructions, documentation, invididual copyright statements, and anything
   7 else, that is available.

   9 If you do not know what userv is, see its WWW page at
  10 http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/userv/.  For now at least, the
  11 userv mailing lists should be used to discuss these and other
  12 userv-using programs.

  14 Please send bug reports and suggestions to
  15 userv-maint@chiark.greenend.org.uk, or to the userv-discuss mailing
  16 list if you are subscribed to it.

  32
  33 Key to the Status:
  34  First letter is completeness:
  35    Y    Complete.
  36    P    Partially complete, some glue or modification needed.
  37    X    Incomplete.  Much extra stuff is required.
  38  Second letter is general status:
  39    Y    Released; hopefully of production quality.
  40    B    Beta.  Not fully released, but hopefully useful with care.
  41    A    Alpha.  Probably buggy.  Not well tested or widely used.
  42    X    Example/experimental - for documentation purposes only,
  43         not recommended for use.
  44    S    Too small for this question to be relevant.
  45  Third letter is documentation:
  46    Y    Full installation and use instructions included.
  47    A    Documentation is believed largely adequate, but a bit rough.
  48    P    Partial documentation or hints.  Good sysadmins should cope.
  49    X    No documentation.  Good luck !
  50    S    Too small to need any significant documentation.
