Description

Geneweb is a genealogy software program with a Web interface. It can be used off-line or in a Web environment. It uses very efficient techniques of relationship and consanguinity computing, developed in collaboration with Didier Rémy, research Director at INRIA.

GeneWeb's strong points are the following:

  • Web interface
  • Dynamic display
  • Relationship and consanguinity computing
  • Polyglot
  • Spelling correction
  • Nobility titles
  • Information update and protection
  • Customization (background color, etc)
  • Miscellaneous Features: birthdays, last births, etc.
  • An example: more than 100,000 persons
  • Import and export of GEDCOM files

Details (in english) of the above features can be found at http://cristal.inria.fr/~ddr/GeneWeb/en/index.html

Repository Configuration

The following command will configure the AceNetTech repository on SME Server. All my contribs are now on the smecontribs repo-

To see contribs available:

yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=smecontribs list available

To install a contrib:

yum  --enablerepo=smecontribs install packagename

After adding it to the database we have to update the changes to the configuration file:

signal-event yum-modify

Install Geneweb

Install with the following command and it will install all of the required packages for you.

yum --enablerepo=AceNetTech install geneweb smeserver-geneweb
  • Two packages are installed
geneweb-5.00-7.el4.sme.i386.rpm
smeserver-geneweb-2.0-1.el4.sme.noarch.rpm
  • The first RPM- geneweb-5.00-*.el4.sme.i386.rpm is the latest Geneweb build (5.00) compiled for SME 7.
  • The second - smeserver-geneweb-2.0-1.el4.sme.noarch.rpm integrates Geneweb into SME 7. It includes a server-manager panel to configure the IP assigned to the client machine from which Geneweb is allowed to be administered.
Important.png Note:
Developers are invited to help with the source of the smeserver-geneweb package. One major validation I desire currently does not work (IP_number) along with the 'must_be_local' validation already included.
