What is ivman?
--------------
Ivman is a daemon to automount cdrom's and dvd's when inserted in a drive, or autostart playing audio cd's or video dvd's. It is 100% userspace, so (in time) it will become a safe replacement for supermount/submount.
Ivman is based on HAL, http://hal.freedesktop.org.


Who wrote it?
-------------
Ivman was written by Ikke <eikke at users dot sourceforge dot org>, based on gnome-volume-manager, by Robert M. Love and others.


Where can I find the latest information?
----------------------------------------
Check the homepage at http://ivman.sourceforge.net


What are the dependencies?
--------------------------
Ivman depends on glib, libxml2, D-Bus, and HAL (the CVS version, Hal 0.2 won't work, because of changes in the spec).


How do I install it?
--------------------
Like every other GNU-based tool:
./configure
make
make install

./configure --help for other options.

Gentoo ebuilds are aviable (see the 'gentoo' directory), if anyone wants to contribute an RPM or so, feel free to contact me!


How do I configure it?
----------------------
All config files are (standard) located in /etc/ivman. They are plain xml files, just read them, everything is quite self-explaining.


HOWTO use the ivman-cvs ebuild
------------------------------
0. Get the hal-cvs and dbus-cvs ebuilds from breakmygentoo. Check their homepage (http://www.breakmygentoo.net) to learn how to get them
1. mkdir an overlay directory (if you have none yet)
2. mkdir an ivman-cvs dir under sys-apps, and copy uvman-cvs-0.1.ebuild into it
3. mkdir files under ivman-cvs
4. copy ivman-0.1-gentoo.init to that files dir, call it ivman.init
5. ebuild ivman-cvs-0.1.ebuild digest
6. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge ivman-cvs
