Package: lxr-cvs
Version: 0.9.5+cvs20071020-1
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
This is a proposal to update the README.Debian file regarding mainly the
postgresql setup.
Suggested changes are in Dependencies, Setup 1, Edit the lxr config and Build
the cross-reference.
I propose:
---------------
Dependencies
-----------------------
...
This packages need:
...
- swish-e package (not to be confused with swish++)
(I suggest to add this because lxr-cvs was not working for me until I add this
package, but I use lxr-cvs to browse Perl code, not Linux-src)
Setup
----------
...
1) Set up the database.
...
For Postgresql:
Create a Linux user account for lxr, named "lxr".
Get a shell for the database superuser 'postgres'. If your system has an
active root user, use su:
$ su -c "su -s /bin/sh postgres"
If your system uses sudo to get administrative rights, use sudo instead:
$ sudo -u postgres sh
Add the previously created user account in Postgresql and give the user
permission to create databases:
createuser lxr
Create a database for lxr:
createdb -U lxr lxr
Add a web server account (unprivilege):
createuser www-data
Logout and login in the normal shell as "lxr"
Initialize the database:
psql -U lxr lxr
\i /usr/share/doc/lxr-cvs/examples/initdb-postgres
Just ignore the errors (if any) about unimplemented functions.
...
3) Edit the lxr configuration file. (/etc/lxr-cvs/lxr.conf)
...
You should check the location of swish-e index database files. The
directory should be writable for the "lxr" user:
'swishdir' => '/var/lib/lxr-cvs/index/',
...
5) Build the cross-reference:
Open a shell for the lxr user and do:
genxref --url=http://localhost/lxr --allversions
---
end of suggests!
As I used lxr to browse a different source tree than the linux one, if you
think that a little documentation can help users, I can write it.
