After a couple of false starts I have my Gedcom and media all running fine on webtrees, so I think it's a no-brainer that the phpgedview port gets it's retirement! There will obviously be a new package page for webtrees, and currently the live site is running on an sqlite database which obviously I need to look at, but one of the roadmap items that had not even been written yet was to get my father and son's deaths actually recorded on the family tree which I do not have! Much better to be adding material rather than messing around with the spanners.

| Already having second thoughts on this as the laravel framework that webtrees now uses is a nightmare compared to ADOdb, so phpgedview has had a bit of a reprieve for the moment. I still need to sort the reporting functions and may be able to pinch that from elsewhere but the important thing is to have the Caine-Humphries family tree data up to date and that does not really need printing out just yet. The on line displays are working nicely.
|
| So next on the list is to battle with the old server and at least get sftp working again. I am still using it's 16Tb of disk space as backup and for the media server so being able to run BeyondCompare over sftp is essential and it has not worked since the name changes.

| All three machines are now running the current build of Tumbleweed augmented with the latest Firebird and all talking silently with one another over ssh and BeyondCompare. Did look at one of the NAS boxes to take the disks, but they all insist on wiping the disks before using them and I don't have enough space to store the material that is on them already, so I'll stick with EXT3 formated disks which I can pull and move from machine to machine if needs be. |
