<h3>Project Basics</h3>
This project is aimed at installing (and keeping update) the site specific
config files we want, after preprocessing them (conditional content and
include files and include sections). It also triggers an postinstall script
whenever its associated config file has been changed. It can also remove
config files, including running an preremove script before doing so. All
this is driven by an simple config file list.
<p>
This project has produced an <a href="dphys-config">dphys-config</a> script
for doing the work. And an <a href="cron.d.example">cron job</a> and an
<a href="init.d.example">init.d script</a> that run this script nightly and
at boot time.
<p>
This project was spawned from the
<a href="http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/projects/dphys-admin/">dphys-admin
project</a>, aimed at automatically installing Debian packages onto our
systems, but is itsself independant of dphys-admin or any other Debian
stuff. It should work on any Unix system, but has only been tested on our
Debian Linux 3.1 (sarge) and later systems and on FreeBSD 6.1.

<h3>Project Status</h3>
For the full details of done/doing/todo of the project best read the
<a href="Logfile">Logfile</a>. A short excerpt from it is here:
<p>
<h4>Done are:</h4>
Milestone/Release 1 (2006.09.15):
<ul>
<li>Fetch config file list, host dependant</li>
<li>Fetch config files driven by above, host dependant</li>
<li>Merge in host or group dependant "include" files or "if" lines to
files</li>
<li>Install/update config file where it belongs, if it is new or has
changed</li>
<li>Run an postinstall script if config file was installed/updated</li>
<li>Run an preremove script if a config file shall disappear</li>
<li>Remove unwanted config files</li>
<li>Allow non-root to use dphys-config to distribute dot files</li>
</ul>
Milestone/Release 2 (2006.10.20):
<ul>
<li>Bugfix non-root mode to actually work, no writing into /etc/</li>
<li>Changed to also work with newer sed comming with in Debian sid</li>
<li>Linked to official Debian package in sid (will become etch)</li>
<li>Code and documentation tidy ups, some from early feedback</li>
<li>Extensive quoting improvements against possible escaping bugs</li>
<li>Path handling and other changes to work also on FreeBSD 6.1</li>
</ul>
Milestone/Release 3 (2009.09.26):
<ul>
<li>Added file: URL support, as wget does not implement that</li>
<li>Bugfixes for HTTP status codes, preprocessing handle spaces</li>
<li>Facultatively user set hostname for install in xen guests/vhosts</li>
<li>Remove various bashisms, so it will work with Debians dash</li>
<li>Use mktemp if the users system has it</li>
</ul>
Milestone/Release 4 (2010.02.16):
<ul>
<li>fixed wget LANG= dependancy which broke file downloads</li>
<li>added new -D DEBUG_* option for keeping last wget output file</li>
<li>changed 2 unusual spelling variants which Lintian dislikes</li>
</ul>
Current (= development, = may be fantastic, may be broken):
