You can read the complete GNU GPL in the file COPYING which should come along with this software, or visit the Free Software Foundation's WEB site http://www.fsf.org ============================================================ PyKota NEWS : - 1.02alpha : - Improved documentation. - You can now set the tcp/ip port on which the Quota Storage Server is listening, see sample configuration file for details. - Better error handling if PygreSQL is not installed or not available. - 1.01 : - The configuration file now accepts an option to choose the recipient(s) of the email messages : - DevNull means no one will receive them. - User means only the user will receive them. - Admin means only the admin will receive them. - Both means the User and the Admin will receive them. - The configuration file now uses hard-coded default values when an option is not set. See sample configuration file for details. - Manual pages are included since 1.00, but I forgot to add this information to this file. - Redistribution terms for the official package have softened and are now fully GPL compatible : unrestricted modification is now allowed even for the version number. - 1.00 : - edpykota now accepts a --noquota option. This disable quota checking while still doing page accounting. This is really useful for people who don't want to limit their users but want to know how much pages they print. - Some untested scripts were added to retrieve the life time page counter of non-SNMP printers. - Every directory now has a specific README file. - 0.99 : - Under some circumstances while the user wasn't allowed to print, he didn't receive any email message. It is now fixed. - When an user wasn't allowed to print, the quota for the previous user wasn't updated. This is now fixed. - 0.98 : - Correctly handle the case where the printer is switched off. - Small bug wrt syslog fixed. - 0.97 : - edpykota accepts wildcards on its command line for users/groups too if the --add option is not set, e.g. : $ edpykota --printer lp --softlimit 50 --hardlimit 100 "jer*" - If no user name is passed at all, then a default wildcard of "*" which means apply the command on ALL users for this printer is used. - Small bug fixes. - 0.96 : - Options requester, policy, admin, adminmail and gracedelay can now be set either globally or per printer. The printer option has priority if both are defined. - More powerful configuration parser. - If all options are defined globally, there's no need to define a section for each printer in the configuration file anymore. Just define a [global] section and it's ok. - 0.95 : - External requesters for printers finally added. - Full internationalization (english and french are supported) - More complete quota usage report - CGI script to access to the quota usage report - Several bugs fixed. - 0.9 : - First public version
