This sounds like a good Idea. Yes I'm late in this discussion but I do not follow debian-devel extremely regular and I missed this thread. :) > As the first step I propose to add an Uploaders field to the package (once > we have a list of people). I'd like to help. I have a lot of ideas for how to configure apache from other packages. Right now I have a special system at work but it is not very compatible with the apache one. I also maintain wwwconfig-common that does similar things. What I want is a better system because none of what I have mentioned works very well. Wwwconfig-common works but it should not exist at all because apache and the database tools should provide this functionality. :) See bug #112553 for my ideas of how things should be configured. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=112553&repeatmerged=yes Regards, // Ola > Some of the other things this task force would do are > > - writing up guidelines for packaging Apache modules (a kind of policy doc) Great idea.
