Interchange Linux and Open Source E-Commerce
Interchange is an open source alternative to commercial commerce servers and application server/component applications. Interchange is one of the most powerful tools available to automate and database-enable your web site or build online applications.
It's made up of the following components:* database abstraction layer
* generic templating system
* transaction routing rules
* customer information object
* universal localization scheme
* security blackout definition
* profiles
* filters
* search language
* session management
Interchange is well suited for a variety of purposes, including: sales, order processing, content management, customer service, reporting and analysis, and personalization. Interchange has been implemented for traditional retail sales, digital goods delivery, B2B parts re-ordering, non-commerce content management, auctions, order status checking, supply chain management, project management, online collaboration, and even an MP3 Jukebox. Interchange can be used as a completely self-contained standalone product or as part of a larger system. It can be integrated with payment processing services, ERP systems, point-of-sale systems, accounting systems, external content management systems, Java-based application servers, sales force automation systems, customer relationship management systems, email campaign management systems, and remote databases on virtually any platform.

Debian Specific Changes
=======================
* all catalog configuration should we put into catalogs.cfg, so that
/etc/interchange/interchange.cfg can upgraded easily
* any global usertags used locally should go into /etc/interchange/usertag
and they'll be included if they have the extension .tag
Other Notes
===========
* if the selected Interchange user (default: interchange, may be changed
through debconf) doesn't exists at installation time, it will created.
Due to security reasons the shell for this user will be set to
/bin/false and the password for this user will be disabled. Use
su -s /bin/sh if you need to become the Interchange user.
