The Debian Package CTN
--------------------------

This is the CTN (Central Test Node) system packaged for Debian
by Kevin M. Rosenberg <kmr@debian.org>, May 2002.
Current maintainer is Debian-Med: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med/.

CTN is an implementation of the DICOM standard.

The home page for CTN is http://erl.wustl.edu/research/dicom/ctn.html

There is extensive documentation for using CTN in the Debian package
ctn-doc.

Changes made to the Debian package compared to the upstream
package are:

  1. Source code changes to set the configuration directory to
  /etc/ctn rather than rely on an runtime environmental variable.
  Various tweaks to make it build in a Debian environment.

  2. Rewrite SQL helper scripts to use bash shell rather than csh

  3. CTN can be compiled to support a single SQL server.
  The Debian package supports only the MySQL database. The upstream
  version allows a choice of other SQL servers that could be used.

  4. Support for MySQL server versions greater than 4.1.

  5. Added man pages.
