I converted my bibtex database to ris format and I can use refdba, so my installation is okay I think. In my docbook test.xml file I have a couple of citations like this: &lt;citation role="REFDB"&gt;kuma_v92&lt;/citation&gt;. runbib -d mybib -r -t db50x test.xml I get Variable $SGML_CATALOG_FILES not set Parse error at line 4 column 2: syntax error The terminal where the refdbd instance is running (refdbd -s -e 0 -l 7) says this when I exec the runbib in another terminal: --------------------- sqlite3 /usr/local/var/lib/refdb/db mybib SELECT meta_app,meta_type,meta_dbversion FROM t_meta WHERE meta_type='risx' connected to database server using database: mybib no character encoding conversion required output encoding is: UTF-8 XML parse error child exited with code 1 server waiting n_max_fd=4 --------------------- So I try the step-by-step way: xsltproc --xinclude /usr/local/share/refdb/xsl/citationsraw.xsl test.xml &gt; test.id.xml This produces a text version of the test.xml file, except it still has citations tags but no attributes on the tags. So xmllint doesn't like it: xmllint --noout --nonet --dtdvalid file:///usr/local/share/refdb/dtd/citationlistx.dtd test.id.xml test.id.xml:4: parser error : Start tag expected, '&lt;' not found Does any of that ring a bell? Have I missed a step somewhere? thanks, --Tim p.s., in refdbc i can successfully get a reference from the database: getref -d mybib :CK:=kuma_v92 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

I'm a somehow newbie to refdb, but I got it running and I'm impressed by the capabilities. I'm using the latest official version 0.9.9-1 Currently I've two questions I didn't found answers yet. Is it possible or planned to include a &lt;biblioid class="doi"&gt;xxxx&lt;/biblioid&gt; when exporting to docbook5? I've imported RIS data sets including DO tags. The second question is which RIS tag is the correct one for the "edition" of a book and is this tag already exported to an &lt;edition&gt; tag in docbook?

I use RefDB SVN-747 with PostgreSQL. With refdba, I experience the following: bronger&lt; at &gt;wilson:~$ refdba -u chantal Please enter your password: refdba: listuser -d biblio main database version is not supported refdba: listuser -d biblio chantal drefdbuser1 refdb 999:3 refdba: adduser -d biblio toll 238:toll:biblio 999:1 added:0 failed refdba: listuser -d biblio chantal drefdbuser1 refdb 999:3 (The first "main database version is not supported" is stange because a second try works. But this is not the main reason for my posting.) My problem is that I cannot see the user "toll" after having added him. The user "chantal" is allowed to add new users.

I just updated the Ubuntu packages to * Refdb SVN-747 * Ubuntu 11.04 Installation is as easy as sudo apt-get install python-software-properties sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bronger/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install refdb Sometimes, the very first starting of the server fails. However, a re-start fixes this. The package depends on sqlite3 and uses it as default.

I was expecting search results listet in particular after the header of presenting how many results have been found, but I only get Matching Results number, not any reference to edit, print or whatsoever. I guess since the main setup of the server hasn't change since the massive ports-update this problem can be solved easily - but I don't know. Can anyone help?

My text is spread over several files, connected via \input{} statements in a main head-file. Running latex/pdflatex on the head file, creates an .aux files, which is used by refdbib as input. refdbib then retrieves for each entry the appropriate reference from the SQL DB (postgresql 8.4 server on a FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE platform) - but there a multiple occurences of the same reference, exactly as many as \cite't in the main text. Is this a feature or a bug?

Hartmann 2010-02-22T10:12:20 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.refdb.general/3046 <pre>Hi all, I'd like to inform everyone that there is a possible loss of data if you use risx to export references. The problem was reported by Torsten Bronger in this bug tracker item: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&amp;atid=385991&amp;aid=2945806&amp;group_id=26091 Symptoms: CONF (conference proceedings) datasets contain up to 4 titles: article title, proceedings title, series title, and conference name. The risx DTD up to 1.2.0 was not able to represent the latter. Thus, if you add a CONF dataset in RIS format, the database will contain all four titles. If you export such datasets as risx, the conference name will be lost. If you export them as RIS, all titles will be retained. Affected: All versions of RefDB which support risx up to 0.9.9. The problem has been fixed in the current svn revision (716) and will not show up in all future releases. Workaround: Use RIS to back up or export your data. Remember that the datasets are correctly stored in your database. Unless you re-create a database from a risx dump, your data will be safe. I apologize for any inconveniences. regards, Markus </pre> Markus Hoenicka 2010-02-11T21:58:59 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.refdb.general/3041 <pre>Hi there, For a project here, I would like to adopt refdb for bibliographic data management. However, one of the requirements is to be able to have multilingual titles, that is titles repeated for different languages. As an example, I might have a title of a Japanese paper in original script (Kanji+Kana), Roman Transcription, translation into English, translation into German etc. I wonder how refdb could deal with this. It appears that at the moment all fields are language-agnostic, right? Would it be possible to introduce language at some level? best, Christian </pre> Christian Wittern 2010-01-12T04:06:33 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.text.refdb.general/3038 <pre>Hi, has anyone tried running RefDB on a 64bit Linux system?

I have a question concerning the author tag of RIS-datasets. I have added the example RIS-datasets shipped with the refDB software which is contained in "testrefs.utf8.ris" file. This file contains one dataset of type BOOK, with an A1 author tag of name "Smith,K.M.". When I enter the "getrefs :A1:=Smith,K.M" command I get the result ":0 retrieved:0 failed". I get the same result with the search expression ":AU:=Smith,K.M.". When I use the search expression ":AX:=Smith,K.M." the correct dataset is returned, though; the same is the case when I use the expression ":A2:=Smith,K.M.". As I understand, in the case of RIS-type CHAP the book-author/editor would be entered with the A2 tag, but why is the book author of a RIS-type BOOK dataset "mapped" from A1 to A2?

Installing software via the Debian packaging system obviously made me lazy. So I had a deeper look at the manual and - what a surprise - I seem to have succeeded: After two minor modifications (see below) I seem to have a running refDB server/sqlite3-database: The "/var/lib/refd/db" directory contains the following file: DB_VERSION, refdb, refs (where "refs" is the name of the reference DB that I have selected). I have not yet entered a single reference into my refs reference DB, but I wanted to give you timely feedback. To make a long story short: - I installed the binary package and accepted the error message of the post-installation script that resulted from being unable to start the refdbd server. - After the binary installation I started the "refdb-init" script as root. To execute this script successfully I had to make two minor modifications (Torsten already notes difficulties concerning this script in the README.Debian file of the package.) -- I had the change the value of MYREFDBCTL to "/etc/init.d/refdb" -- I had to execute: "/usr/sbin/refdbd" as root and change the ownership of the "/var/lib/refdb/db" hierarchy afterwards. In concrete, instead of the original: su refdb -c "$MYREFDBD -a -e 0 -l 6 -L /var/log/refdb/refdbd.log -P /var/run/refdb/refdbd.pid -u $dbadmin_name -w $dbadmin_password"|| endScript "Failed to install or upgrade main database" "failed" the modified version of the refdb-init script which works in my Debian context contains: $MYREFDBD -a -e 0 -l 6 -L /var/log/refdb/refdbd.log -P /var/run/refdb/refdbd.pid -u $dbadmin_name -w $dbadmin_password|| endScript "Failed to install or upgrade main database" "failed" chown -R refdb:refdb /var/lib/refdb/db Note: I first tried: chown refdb:refdb /var/lib/refdb/db su refdb -c "$MYREFDBD -a -e 0 -l 6 -L /var/log/refdb/refdbd.log -P /var/run/refdb/refdbd.pid -u $dbadmin_name -w $dbadmin_password"|| endScript "Failed to install or upgrade main database" "failed" but that did not work (denied access to the log/pid files ?) After fiddling with the refdb-init script I have to questions concerning this script: - I do not understand why in the call to refdbd contains the -e flag set to 0 AND the -L flag set. Shouldn't the -e flag be set to 2 in this case or the -L flag be left out? But maybe this means falling back to stderr if the file is not accessible, which is not exactly what the manual says. - In the refdb-init.in file most of the path-names (for example the path-name to the database-directory) are made configurable in the build-process, but this is not the case for the example-configuration files. In the way the software is currently setup there should not arise any inconsistencies. Nevertheless a cleaner solution seems to me to make the example-configuration files configurable in the build-process and to let the refdb-init script read these values from the selected configuration file. If you like I can post a quick and dirty recipe that collects all the steps for building a Debian Lenny package from the refdb_0.9.9.0~svn471-7ubuntu1 Ubuntu source package, installing and purging the Debian binary package. This should probably only be done after I have successfully used the reference database for some time (added references, retrieved them, build bibliographies etc.) Note though that the recipe is currently a make-shift solution: - The approach described in this recipe is VERY dirty indeed. For example: I do not even remove the "ubuntu" string in the package name (this does not mean any hostility against Ubuntu :). - I do not know which of the original shortcomings have already been addressed in a possible new version of Torsten's Ubuntu source package. As I am building and installing in a Debian context, I do not know if these (or which of these) shortcomings should be handled in an Ubuntu package.

I am trying to build a Debian Lenny package from the Ubuntu package sources provided by Torsten Bronger. I am a Debian packaging neophyte but after some struggling I managed to get something named refdb_&lt;..&gt;.deb. The only issue that I encountered was that I had to use the "libltdl3-dev" instead of the "libltdl7-dev" as proposed in the "Build-Depends:" clause, because the "libltdl7-dev" is not available in the Debian Lenny distribution. Still the build process worked out fine (although I got a lot of warnings concerning pointers, data types etc.) After I had manually satisfied the package requirements according to the "Depends:" clause, I issued a "dpkg -i refdb_&lt;..&gt;.deb". Alas the installation process terminated with an error: ... invoke-rc.d: initscript refdb, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing refdb (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 ... This made me include a "set -x" in the "/etc/init.d/refdb" file to get a trace. The output of the trace was as follows: + start_server + '[' '!' -d /var/run/refdb ']' + '[' -z refdb ']' + start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/refdb/refdbd.pid --chuid refdb --exec /usr/sbin/refdbd -- -L /var/log/refdb/refdbd.log -P /var/run/refdb/refdbd.pid + errcode=0 + return 0 + '[' -n '' ']' + running + '[' '!' -f /var/run/refdb/refdbd.pid ']' ++ cat /var/run/refdb/refdbd.pid + pid=21573 + running_pid 21573 /usr/sbin/refdbd + pid=21573 + name=/usr/sbin/refdbd + '[' -z 21573 ']' + '[' '!' -d /proc/21573 ']' + return 1 Obviously the refdb server started but terminated prematurely, so I looked into the "/var/log/refdb/refdbd.log" and found the following message: 6:pid=21573:Thu Sep 24 17:41:19 2009:Available libdbi database drivers: 6:pid=21573:Thu Sep 24 17:41:19 2009:sqlite 3:pid=21573:Thu Sep 24 17:41:19 2009:Requested libdbi driver is not present I looked for available packages with "libdbi" in their name and got the following listing: $&gt; aptitude search libdbi p libdbi-doc - DB Independent Abstraction Layer for C -- documentation p libdbi-perl - Das Perl5-Datenbank-Interface von Tim Bunce p libdbi-ruby - Datenbank-unabhängige Schnittstelle für Ruby p libdbi-ruby1.8 - Datenbankunabhängige Schnittstelle für Ruby 1.8 i A libdbi0 - Database Independent Abstraction Layer for C i libdbi0-dev - DB Independent Abstraction Layer for C -- development files p libdbicx-testdatabase-perl - Create a temporary database from a DBIx::Class::Schema p libdbix-abstract-perl - DBI-SQL-Abstraktion p libdbix-class-datetime-epoch-perl - Automatic inflation/deflation of epoch-based DateTime objects ... p libdbix-class-htmlwidget-perl - Like FromForm but with DBIx::Class and HTML::Widget p libdbix-class-perl - Extensible and flexible object &lt;-&gt; relational mapper p libdbix-class-schema-loader-perl - Dynamic definition of a DBIx::Class::Schema p libdbix-contextualfetch-perl - Add context aware fetches to DBI p libdbix-datasource-perl - Datenbankunabhängige 'create'- und 'drop'-Funktionen p libdbix-dbschema-perl - Database-independent schema objects p libdbix-easy-perl - Easy to Use DBI Interface p libdbix-fulltextsearch-perl - Indexing documents with MySQL as storage p libdbix-password-perl - Perl module for creating a global password file for DB passwords p libdbix-profile-perl - DBI-ABfrage-Messungen p libdbix-recordset-perl - Perl-Erweiterung für DBI-Satzmengen p libdbix-searchbuilder-perl - Encapsulate SQL queries and rows in simple perl objects p libdbix-sequence-perl - ein einfacher SQL92-ID-Erzeuger p libdbix-xml-rdb-perl - perl module for creating XML from a DBI datasource p libdbix-xmlmessage-perl - perl module for exchanging XML messages between DBI data sources Which of these packages is missing from my installation?

Apparatently, there used to be a Debianisation but I cannot find it. Where is the old material for Debian/Ubuntu packaging (i.e. the debian/ directory)? I'd like to have preferably only one package containing everything. Unfortunately, RefDB is split into a couple of tarballs (refdb-0.9.9.tar.gz, RefDB-perlmod-1.2.tar.gz, RefDB-Client-1.18.tar.gz, RefDB-SRU-0.7.tar.gz, and refdb-publist-1.1.tar.gz). What should be packaged? Since all except the first package are tiny, what was the rationale to have them separately? Tschö, Torsten. </pre> Torsten Bronger 2009-08-12T21:37:36 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.text.refdb.general
