= SoftWare / !DDT - Management of computer names and IP addresses = == Description == DDT is an acronym for DHCP-DNS-Tools. In practise, DDT is an IP Address Management (IPAM) service. It has been used in the LEGI laboratory for over 10 years. {{{ddt}}} ({{{dhcp-dns-tools}}}) is a small tool to maintain a set of computers/IP. In order to help you in this task, ddt command has a set of action to generated DHCP and DNS configuration files. The tool is quite effective and tries to keep things simple but easily configurable for your site like a swiss army knife. Everything is saved in a YAML database and entries could be added, deleted, or modified by the command line. == Debian package == Debian is a GNU/Linux distribution. Debian (and certainly Ubuntu) package for amd64 arch could be download on: http://servforge.legi.grenoble-inp.fr/pub/soft-trokata/ddt/download. You can then install it with {{{ sudo dpkg -i ddt_*_amd64.deb }}} (just replace * with the version you have donwloaded). == Software repository == All code is under '''free license'''. Scripts in `bash` are under GPL version 3 or later (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html), the `perl` scripts are under the same license as `perl` itself ie the double license GPL and Artistic License (http://dev.perl.org/licenses/artistic.html). All sources are available on the LEGI forge: http://servforge.legi.grenoble-inp.fr/svn/soft-trokata/trunk/ddt The sources are managed via subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/). It is very easy to stay synchronized with these sources * initial recovery {{{ svn checkout http://servforge.legi.grenoble-inp.fr/svn/soft-trokata/trunk/ddt soft-ddt }}} * the updates thereafter {{{ svn update }}} It is possible to have access to writing at the forge on reasoned request to [mailto:Gabriel.Moreau(A)legi.grenoble-inp.fr Gabriel Moreau]. For issues of administration time and security, the forge is not writable without permission. For the issues of decentralization of the web, autonomy and non-allegiance to the ambient (and North American) centralism, we use our own forge... You can propose an email patch of a particular file via the `diff` command. Note that `svn` defaults to the unified format (`-u`). Two examples: {{{ diff -u ddt.org ddt.new > ddt.patch svn diff ddt > ddt.patch }}} We apply the patch (after having read and read it again) via the command {{{ patch -p0 < ddt.patch }}}
