ITP vexim2
hi my name is Daniel Knabl, i am from Austria, so please excuse my poor English ;) first of all i have to say "thank you" for your great work. there is a nice little application called vexim [1], it is used for managing a virtual mailing system based on exim4 and mysql, and it is fully compatible to the programms in courier-suite (pop,imap + SSL). this application is basically a set of php-scripts. also there is a simple but working configfile for exim4 and both courier pop and imap. i found this solution at http://debainhowto.de [2]. there are some things to be changed within the mysql.sql dump and within the php files. therefor i can NOT package this useful software. is there anybody - preferred German speakers - who is willing and able to package this OR to give assistance to me (i would try packaging when there is somone helping me)???

packaging problem - no binary
fi folks as i announced, i would like to package vexim. for now i have some problems with dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -d |dh_gencontrol |dpkg-gencontrol -ldebian/changelog -isp |-Tdebian/vexim.substvars -Pdebian/vexim dpkg-gencontrol: error: control |file must have at least one binary package part dh_gencontrol: command |returned error code 65280 make: *** [binary-arch] Fehler 1 maybe this happens, because the application exists of only php files and docu? Until now i was not able to find a solution for packaging this application. as Florian Ragwitz wrote to me in a private email, this could be more difficult than expected. if there is anyone willing to help me getting started, please have a look at http://knabl.com/~daniel/vexim-2.0.1/ in there you find all the prepared files, especially debian/rules and debian/postinst need some review. -- mfg Daniel Knabl http://www.tirolinux.net PGP Fingerprint [EMAIL PROTECTED] A069 671B 39F2 E9B9 FB34 68BB 4BEC 1344 C8A4 3F0B pgpTmdNDGs23A.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi Matt, maybe i didn't stress it out: the sources were prepared using dh_make. as said in one of my previous mails i already stand in contact with Florian Ragwitz; he also offered to act as "sponsor" for my package. but for now i have plenty of things to learn and to fix in this first release ;-) -- mfg Daniel Knabl http://www.tirolinux.net PGP Fingerprint [EMAIL PROTECTED] A069 671B 39F2 E9B9 FB34 68BB 4BEC 1344 C8A4 3F0B pgpg8wm4Ch4Ve.pgp Description: PGP signature

ITP vexim
Hi there, as i use this piece of software already on my own host, i would like to provide it to any other users. for the first steps i have created a directory "vexim-2.2.rc1". it includes all of the used files (most are *.php files). next i did "dh_make" on it. as i think it is a single binary i have coosen this. if there is anyone willing and/or able to help me with the next steps i would be very happy. right now i have some questions on how to get debconf and templates working, so that the user can interact whilest installing. this would be very important - however i do not really know, how to get the user's input and how to process it further. i think about cryptic postinst script using many lines containing sed s/@bla@/$user_in/ > $tempfile ... but first of all i would need some help on the control-file, the rules-file and on "how to resolve dependencies" of my package. anyone willing to help: have a look at http://knabl.com/~daniel/vexim there you will find my (at least daily) changed files, and every change that seems to work or needs to be fixed will also be there. sorry, but i can not install cvs or svn repository there, it is just my user-account ;-) thanks in advance Daniel -- mfg Daniel Knabl http://www.tirolinux.net PGP Fingerprint [EMAIL PROTECTED] A069 671B 39F2 E9B9 FB34 68BB 4BEC 1344 C8A4 3F0B -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

NMU for mantis - dependecy for php5 fixed
Hi all, could anyone please have a look at the changes I've made to the mantis package?! It should now support/depend on/work with php5 too. Also I've tested it on several machines both with testing and unstable, and there were no errors during installation nor with upgrades from earlier versions.

Thanks to Amaya, now my work is available through the debian mentors website: http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/maintainer-packages?action=details;package=mantis I also tried to fix the todos on the list mentioned by Amaya, furthermore I duilt it again using pbuilder (upgraded to sid, as mentioned on workaround.org). All without errors or warnings.
