Stephane Leclercq <address@hidden> described the package as follows:

Other License: 
Package: L.I.A.M.
System name: liam
Type: non-GNU

Description:
L.I.A.M. (Logiciel d'Inventaire Automatise des Machines) is a Computer 
inventory software designed for large pools of Linux and/or Windows computers. 
It is written in perl, and can be used with a database (any correctly 
configured database). The client (Linux or Windows, preliminary support for Mac 
about to be dropped) scans the computer and sends an email with a zipped XML 
attachment. Server side, another script fetch mails, and populate the database 
with the information contained in them. Lastly, a Web based front end is used 
to navigate between tables and computer caracteristics.
L.I.A.M. is currently in alpha state (basically, the scripts are working but 
there isn't any way to install it quickly and properly yet). Savannah is needed 
because we're almost done working on the project in our university (marne la 
vallee, france) and need C.V.S. support to go on the project.
I have included most of the sources (not included : Web frontend perl/html 
sources because only my coworker got them right now, one of the reasons CVS is 
needed) in a tarball at http://etudiant.univ-mlv.fr/~slecle01/liam.tar.gz so 
you can have a look at them (not likely to stay online after you reviewed it).
One thing that might be a problem is that we're currently relying on a 
particular version of 'dmidecode' and including it with the sources right now. 
Although the size is very slim, we understand that it is not proper behavior to 
include binaries and we're working on it to support the latest version of 
dmidecode so people can fetch their own dmidecode sources and compile them for 
L.I.A.M.


Other Software Required:
- dmidecode
- smbios (windows only, free software, same as dmidecode in functionality)
- apache-perl
any database management system (PostGRES, MySQL, ...)
