NAME
	aegis.cgi - Aegis web interface	script

SYNOPSIS
	aegis.cgi

DESCRIPTION
	The  aegis.cgi	command	 is used to interface between a	web server and
	Aegis.

   Deprecated
	This scripts is	DEPRECATED since a long	time and has been removed from
	the aegis distribution as of aegis-4.24.1.  The	preferred way to  pub-
	lish an	aegis aegis repository on the Web is using aeget(1).

   Installation
	If you have a Web server, you may like to install the Aegis web	inter-
	face.	You  do	 this  by  copying  the	aegis.cgi script from /usr/lo-
	cal/bin/aegis.cgi into your web	server's cgi-bin directory.  There  is
	an  aegis.cgi.i	 helper	 script,  if  you  don't  know	where your web
	server's cgi-bin directory is.

	You may	prefer to use a	symbolic link, as this	will  be  more	stable
	across Aegis upgrades.	However, this requires a corresponding follow-
	symlinks  setting  in  your web	server's configuration file.  (Use the
	aegis.cgi.i -s option.)

	Within the aegis.cgi script, you may set  the  AEGIS_PATH  environment
	variable, if you want it to be able to see more	projects than just the
	global	 projects.    You  do  this  by	 creating  a  /usr/local/lib/-
	aegis.cgi.conf file (there isn't one,  by  default)  and  setting  the
	AEGIS_PATH  environment	 variable in it.  This is a fragment of	Bourne
	shell script, not just the name.

   Usage
	Once installed,	it should be possible to see the project list by  fol-
	lowing this URL:
		http://localhost/cgi-bin/aegis.cgi?
	You may	need to	replace	localhost with the machine's exact name.

   Cascading Style Sheets
	The  web  interface uses Cascading Style Sheets.  You can give the web
	interface a personalised look and feel,	by creating stylesheets	in the
	web server's Document Root directory.  The interface will use it's de-
	fault styles, then styles from	a  global  style  sheet	 called	 aede-
	fault.css,  and	 then styles from a project stylesheet called project-
	name.css (replace projectname with the name of the project).

	There is an example style sheet	in /usr/local/bin/aedefault.css	 which
	demonstrates  the  style elements used.	 This particular stylesheet is
	not designed to	be aesthetically pleasing, but to exercise all of  the
	elements.   Using this stylesheet unmodified will give psychedelic re-
	sults.	Use it as a template.
