| 6 | "Get Hot New Stuff" (GHNS) is a collaborative data sharing framework |
|---|
| 7 | originating from the KDE desktop. The protocol specifications are now being |
|---|
| 8 | maintained at http://ghns.freedesktop.org. |
|---|
| 9 | |
|---|
| 10 | This package contains the sources for Hotstuff, the server-side framework for |
|---|
| 11 | processing of GHNS uploads as well as documentation and tools. It also |
|---|
| 12 | contains an implementation of the Desktop eXchange Service (DXS) which allows |
|---|
| 13 | direct interaction with GHNS repositories, whereas normal upload and download |
|---|
| 14 | are handled by traditional FTP, HTTP, WebDAV and SVN software. |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | This is the fifth release of Hotstuff in tarball format, and as such still |
|---|
| 17 | subject to heavy instability. Use with care! This package is mainly provided |
|---|
| 18 | for those who want to test the corresponding client development, for example |
|---|
| 19 | the KNewStuff2 library from KDE 4. |
|---|
| 20 | Other clients are wanted, as free desktops will benefit from the data sharing |
|---|
| 21 | concepts, which leverages "social software" principles and lets people on the |
|---|
| 22 | internet or on local networks share their ideas. |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | For some documentation, have a look at the ghns(7) and hotstuff(7) manual |
|---|
| 25 | pages, before proceeding to those which document individual Hotstuff commands. |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | Have a look at http://newstuff.kde.org/ to see how a Hotstuff-powered site |
|---|
| 28 | can be run. |
