Mark I have decided to send this email to all 5 bug reports at the same
time because they deal with the same topic: a rather confusing reading file
and a configuration out of all logic in the courier-webadmin and sqwebmail
packages, i just try to make the pull request for the changes required..
PLEASE read here:
first of all the new apache2 config file for sqwebmail causes problems with
path for static files, sqwebmail expected to find css file in
/sqwebmail/sqwebmail.css but i got a http 500 error cos xtrange cgi
configurations automatically made by package.. those must be erased and
admins must fine tune by is own hand in each case if want hide path in
urls, that's could be the reason of the question in debconf about copy or
symlink, although the apache script limits access the cgi can still be
accessed and there is no real security here
bug report #190725 : config web for courier-webadmin and sqwebmail are all
wrong, packages assumes apache2 (most inefficient web server), a bad taste,
bug that's not the problem: the sqwebmail case config file said "allow only
local" but is nonsense because the security is configured by a build time
configuration: https://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/304 3 times bad made the
package make this unusable by confusion
bug report #190725 : in same topic: the localhost build in restriction of
the courier-webadmin is another very confused setting for the admin! so we
should leave this alone and provide example files as it has always been in
Debian
bug report #126735 and #341205 : in same topic: default installation is not
explained (respect the courier documented) and there's no Debian document
that points the difference.. neither a document of debian way and the
differences.. same case of the #190725
about #341205 i will send that patch to upstream but a README file must
sove the situation for now.. this patch is trivial and must be revised cos
is old
about #910527 #910529 : was merged but not property explained in NEWs or
README. the current courier-base pointing about the new permissions but
does not said nothing about the upgrade problem that still persist and
inclusively seems is also cited in the postinst script
