[AG-TECH] Rename to: AG Patch

[Tim Salmon]

Hi all,
sorry for the lack of activity, have been knocked around by an opportunistic lung infection (i'm badly asthmatic cough hack cough) the past week. I'm in early to have a look at the script with the following aims.

1. generalise a bit to include windows and make it easier to include others (OS X, non RHEL-based *nixes)
2. generalise to include other network address changes such as those written in IP not DNS.

regards,
tim

G'day all

Just wondering if anyone has had a chance to look at Salim's code and whether they could offer any feedback?

Also - if anyone could test on the various operating environments, it would be appreciated.

Many thanks,
Jason.

Hi,

The script for renaming urls and disabling venueclient's submit report bug is currently located at

http://code.google.com/p/salims-scratch-box/source/browse/AGpatch/trunk/src/AGpatch.py

I will move it later this week to the sourceforge AccessGrid location.  
  Sorry if the script is a bit rough I'm a novice at python but feel free to suggest improvements :)

The script was developed and tested on a Fedora box and a Scientific linux box as root, since root is the owner of the site-packages directory in python. I need to make a modification later today to allow the user to execute the python app to rename the urls in their  
~/.AccessGrid3/Config alone (probably takes about 5 minutes).    
Windows and Mac still needs to be tested.

At this time, disabling multicast by default for Windows 7 users is still outstanding.  If anyone knows how to do that feel free to email me.

Best,
Salim
