- - LivePage Unveils LivePage Enterprise for Linux Beta Program -
First Unix beta now available on LivePage web site with more Unix
versions under development
Waterloo, March 18, 1999 - LivePage Corporation today announced the
opening of the beta test program for the Linux version of LivePage
Enterprise, its flagship content-base management system. This new
version will enable deployment of LivePage ContentServer on the rapidly
expanding installed-base of Linux web servers. LivePage Enterprise now
allows users to leverage the functionality, performance and value of the
Linux platform.
"We intend to provide support for a comprehensive range of UNIX server
platforms in addition to our current Windows-NT offerings," said Dave
Boswell, president and CEO of LivePage Corporation. "The next step will
be the delivery of the Solaris version of LivePage Enterprise in
beta-test, which we expect in the first half of this year."
Content-Base Management System
LivePage Enterprise 2.0 delivers multi-user, collaborative management
for content including XML, SGML and HTML, as well as digital media such
as graphics. LivePage separates management of content and presentation
style, enabling personalization (presentation style based on user
attributes) and supporting the use of standard tools and storage formats
(XML, SGML) for content. The server applies presentation style and
end-user features such as navigation, advanced searching, dynamic site
map, "what's new" capability, and table of contents. The LivePage
Manager provides graphical drag-and-drop management of the content base
as well as capabilities such as import/export, automatic indexing and
hyperlink generation. Importantly, LivePage Manager provides the
capability for seamless integration with content authoring tools.
LivePage stores web content in an RDBMS, delivering the data integrity,
scalability, security, replicability and concurrency control required
for business critical web sites.
Information about joining the LivePage Enterprise for Linux beta program
can be found at http://www.livepage.com/lpdocs/livepage/BetaCSLinux.htm.

management and delivery of web content with personalization. LivePage
Enterprise is designed to address the needs of customers with large,

Greetings:
As of March 23 1999 the Linux Sound and MIDI Applications page has
been updated again. The Linux soundapps page contains more than 500
various audio, MIDI, and DSP links, making it by far the most complete
listing of such software available on the Web.
The page can be accessed here:
http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/Linux-soundapp/linux_soundapps.html

As always, please use the mirrors first, since my ISP imposes a daily
transfer limit of 35 MB.
Have fun !

[ Announcement of an Installfest on April 24th in Melbourne, Australia. ]
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
LUV Linux Installfest 3 -- April 24th 1999
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Linux Users of Victoria (LUV) will be holding its third Linux
installfest on Saturday April 24th, at Methodist Ladies' College
(MLC), Kew. The installfest will feature both the chance for users to
bring along their computer and get help with installing Linux, and a
demonstration of Linux systems and applications.
More information is available from the Installfest 3 section of the LUV
web site at:
http://www.luv.asn.au/installfest.html
Those wishing to get assistance with installing Linux will need to
register themselves via the web site, which includes instructions on
preparing for the installfest. LUV will also be selling Linux CD-ROMs
to installees at minimal cost which you can order from the registration
page.
There will be a $5 charge per registration for installees, which also makes
you eligible to win one of the fantastic Linux prizes in our prize giveaway.
Admission is free for those who just want to come and see what Linux is all
about.
The Linux demonstrations will include Linux running on a variety of
hardware platforms, the KDE and GNOME desktops, StarOffice, WordPerfect and
the GIMP. A number of Linux vendors will also be present at the installfest
displaying and selling Linux CDs, books and other items.
Light refreshments will be provided, as will a free BBQ lunch for all at
12:30pm courtesy of Cybersource (http://www.cyber.com.au/).
Hope to see you there.
- The LUV Installfest Team

Subject: prototype Makefiles - sharing Makefiles between projects
Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 21:51:43 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
This is the _first_ public release of prototype-1.0.
What: Ready to use Makefiles, no editting needed,
in a single place (for all your projects).
Advantage: Bug fixing and extending Makefiles: Only
in one place.
This package can also me used by newbies
and advanced users as an example, to LEARN
from; how to write Makefiles with GNU make.
Reason for release:
I will use this package for my
own projects (yet to be released).
[From README file]
The following targets are fully automatically supported:
make [all] : Builds the whole project, works from every
(sub) directory.
make build : Builds the current directory (and everything in
it, except test directories). By default, only
shared libraries will be build (not static).
make clean : Clear executables, compiled libraries, object
files
and dependency information.
make depend : Create dependency information (is also updated
automatically when needed).
make real-clean : Uses `find' to make 100% sure you end up with
a clean tree.
make static : In a 'lib' directory: Build and link static
library only.
The common target `make install' needs to be added manually to the
base Makefile.
[...snip...]
Begin3
Title: prototype
Version: 1.0
Entered-date: 1999-03-15
Description: Prototype Makefiles is a collection of shared Makefiles
which are
installed globally and Makefile templates that can be
copied into
project directories using a simple script. The shared
Makefiles
contain the rules for building a project, cleaning it and
making
dependencies etc. The Makefile templates contain the data
that
is specific for each project. This seperation avoids
duplication
of code in Makefiles and is therefore extremely easy to
maintain
and extend.
Keywords: prototype make Makefiles C++ projects sharing reuse
