What is ivman? -------------- Ivman is a daemon to automount cdrom's and dvd's when inserted in a drive, or autostart playing audio cd's or video dvd's. It is 100% userspace, so (in time) it will become a safe replacement for supermount/submount. Ivman is based on HAL, http://hal.freedesktop.org. Who wrote it? ------------- Ivman was written by Ikke <eikke at users dot sourceforge dot org>, based on gnome-volume-manager, by Robert M. Love and others. Where can I find the latest information? ---------------------------------------- Check the homepage at http://ivman.sourceforge.net What are the dependencies? -------------------------- Ivman depends on glib, libxml2, D-Bus, and HAL (the CVS version, Hal 0.2 won't work, because of changes in the spec). How do I install it? -------------------- Like every other GNU-based tool: ./configure make make install ./configure --help for other options. Gentoo ebuilds are aviable (see the 'gentoo' directory), if anyone wants to contribute an RPM or so, feel free to contact me! How do I configure it? ---------------------- All config files are (standard) located in /etc/ivman. They are plain xml files, just read them, everything is quite self-explaining. HOWTO use the ivman-cvs ebuild ------------------------------ 0. Get the hal-cvs and dbus-cvs ebuilds from breakmygentoo. Check their homepage (http://www.breakmygentoo.net) to learn how to get them 1. mkdir an overlay directory (if you have none yet) 2. mkdir an ivman-cvs dir under sys-apps, and copy uvman-cvs-0.1.ebuild into it 3. mkdir files under ivman-cvs 4. copy ivman-0.1-gentoo.init to that files dir, call it ivman.init 5. ebuild ivman-cvs-0.1.ebuild digest 6.
