Package name : extplorer Version : 2.1.0b6 Upstream Author : Soeren Eberhardt <soe...@virtuemart.net> URL : http://extplorer.sourceforge.net/ License : GPL-2 Programming Lang: PHP / Javascript Description : a web file explorer and manager using Ext JS a web-based File Manager. You can use it to: * browse directories & files on the server and * edit, copy, move, delete files, * search, upload and download files, * create and extract archives, * create new files and directories, * change file permissions (chmod) and much more... You can even use eXtplorer to login to the FTP server (like net2ftp) and work as if you were using an FTP client. Access via WebDAV is also possible (requires some extra work and a database!). eXtplorer is released under a dual-license: You can choose wether you want to use eXtplorer under the Mozilla Public License (MPL 1.1) or under the GNU General Public License (GNU/GPL). Note that if you decide to distribute/use eXtplorer under the MPL, you are not allowed to use the ExtJS Javascript library. This ITP is an intend to finally have a web file manager included into Debian as there's currently none of them, and this gap needed to be filled by someone. I have picked up this software because: - It's famous, and wide spread - It has all the functionnalities that someone would need, especially archive extractions which saves a lot of time to anyone working on a website with FTP access only. - It has a nice and convenient web interface which makes it nearly a heavy client even though writen in PHP/JS (right click, drag and drop, Ajax, etc.). - It's using a well know and well maintained JS library (ExtJS) that is also well maintained. - It's author has been (very) responsive and helpfull to all my requests, and I believe that he will be able to address any security and bugfix concerns. The package is already working and lintian clean (I know... doing things the opposte way as it should here, as ITP should be filled first...), only the edition of the authusers is missing, but the author promissed me to fix it this week, so I can ask for a sponsored upload soon. Note that I already have all the dependencies package work done as well: - extjs 3.03 (itp already obtained) - edit-area - php-http-webdav - php-services-json - php-mime-type - php-archive I intend to have all these uploaded as well. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
