Eric,
Do you have any plans to handle the bbgen pagesets? i.e. [page set]title, [page set]group, etc.

Hi all. I had some mail problems during the last days so i think I missed the original post with the link to the tarball of the bb-hostedit

Can someone post it?

Thanks

The tarball has been updated; new users don't need to download this patch.

Hi Thomas, thanks for helping test out the script :)
1. If the a line starts with #, it is a comment. The script reports me
a syntax-error I added the following lines:
---snip---
# Exclude Comments
elsif($item =~ /^#/) {
next;
}
---snap---
Ahh, I was handling comments incorrectly (if they had whitespace before
them on a line they were being parsed, instead of ignored). Now fixed.
2. I included one host on more than one page, so the script reports me
about already definded host.
To get a step forward, I comment out the part in the sctipt.

Now I see the subpages, but no hosts. I can add hosts to the subpage.
I already tried to make a script, that builds the bb-hosts from a
MySQL-Database. I got it never finished, because of all the possible
combinations :(
If you comment out the line that reads in hosts, its to be expected that
you wont see any on the pages/subpages :) I assumed (yet another
possibly incorrect assumption on my part) that you couldn't have the
same hostname defined in two places in your bigbrother/hobbit hierarchy;
I'll have to play around with this some to see how bigbrother behaves.
Hopefully, I'll have a patch out in an hour or so.

Regards,
-Eric
