Hep Update, May 7: new configuration pages
If you update your copy of Hep from CVS you’ll find that there’s a new and improved web interface for adding, changing, and deleting connections, as well as setting protocol options. But before you jump in there and start changing things, a warning: If you rename a connection, you’ll lose any old messages that were associated with it. Also, searching will become very unstable, because search results may refer to messages that no longer exist, or that have moved. These problems will be fixed in time, but keep in mind that you now have the power to shoot yourself in the foot, and don’t rename or delete connections unless you really have to.
Also, let me come out and say that the current web code is really messy. I am not proud of this, and I’m actively working to make it better. In the meantime, please treat it with the same kind of of respect you would give a hot dog factory: enjoy the result, and don’t worry about what’s going on behind the scenes.
Have I mentioned that there’s a mailing list for Hep CVS commits? Just in case you feel the need to know about changes the instant I make them.
