RFS: vhcs (Bug#283005)
Hi, I want to release the VHCS packages (Bug#283005) so I'm searching for a sponsor. I've build some packages which can be found at http://apt.scunc.it/pool/main/sarge/v/vhcs/ Description: VHCS is a software for Web/DomainHosting ISPs. With them, you can manage your virtual hosts, domains, mail/ftp users and databases. Its GUI is used to create administrator- reseller-, and customeraccounts and the vhcs engine will manage the appropiate services like apache, bind, postfix and stuff. It is a software like confixx, ensim or maybe plesk and a little bit webmin. VHCS supports apache2, php4, bind9, proftpd, mysql/pgsql, postfix and courier (pop3/imap) and is themeable. bye Hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

You're right :-) I thought the default semantics of grep-dctrl was regular expression because when you don't type anything it says a pattern is mandatory and in my mind pattern is regular epression pattern. I see grep calls literal strings patterns too. If you're going to output all fields grep-dctrl is unnecessary. I guess the pattern should be '' I usually use grep-dctrl with -s to only output some fields but match all packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I've build some packages which can be found at http://apt.scunc.it/pool/main/sarge/v/vhcs/ OK, I just installed your packages on top of a clean sarge system. A few issues: Why is vhcs2-depends a contrib package? What is vhcs2-depends for? I just did apt-get install vhcs. courier-base asks a debconf question about creating directories for web administration. Do I answer yes or no or does it not matter? Likewise postfix asks questions and so does proftpd. I don't know if it's correct to preseed the debconf database with these answers, but it should be possible (see debconf(7)). I prefer PostgreSQL to MySQL. Perhaps there should be two meta packages, vhcs-postgresql and vhcs-mysql that depend on vhcs + relevant database specific packages. That's not necessary if you're not willing to support that though. Also is installing mysql-server necessary? It may be that the database is stored on a separate host so no database server is needed. Are all the password debconf questions necessary? I haven't been through all of them, but I suspect some could be set to random strings, e.g. vhcs2 database user. The root database account for MySQL has by default no password, so this question may not be necessary. The debconf question should probably mention this anyway. Once I have answered all the questions I get an error on line 395 of vhcs.postinst - can't remove system crontab. This is because root has no crontab (it's a clean install). This should possibly be are warning rather than a fatal error. Also a minor point: the crontab commands should probably be run with 21 /dev/null to stop no crontab for root messages being printed. A similar problem on line 591 of the vhcs.postinst. I opted to make no postfix configuration in the postfix config (see comment above) so I have no postfix config to backup. These lines should probably be surrounded by if [ -f $main_cf ] ... fi or something similar. Now on line 559 of the postinst the ln command fails, probably because I've run the postinst a few times to get it working. Adding the -f flag to ln should fix this. After this I needed to tweak the php.ini for apache2 because of the bug in php4-mcrypt [1]. This should be fixed soon in sarge though. OK, so I now have vhcs2 up and running. Good job! :) I'll let you know if I come across any other problems. I know there's a lot of stuff here, but it pays to iron out as many wrinkles as possible before getting it into the archive, that way you don't end up having to implement transition strategies for various things when you fix it later.

Hello James,
You better start with clean directory and use dh_make -e email
-f ../file.tar.gz as described in Debian New Maintainer's Guide. You missed
important things like Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} and eventually
Build-Depends: debhelper as shown by sanity check tools. It is a good idea to
provide all package files as already being said as your debian/rules is
invinsible. Also indexing the apt repository with apt-ftparchive is a good
idea too ;-)

two question refarding a package I am adopting
Hello, I just filed an ITA for the newly orphaned disc-cover. I am working on packaging the newest version and have a few questions. disc-cover is a Perl program that creates jewel case liner notes in a number of formats. The new version has moved to a template system for the various types of jewel cases. I checked FHS as pointed to by the Policy manual. I think these template files should go in `/usr/share/disc-cover', is this correct? And my second question... The new version, (1.5.4) ships with a little web interface where you can search FreeDB for albums and generate the jewel case inserts, (as versus the main use case which builds an insert for the CD in your drive). The version that is currently packaged, (1.4.0) also included this interface but it wasn't included in the package. Should I include this? Should I setup it up based on a debconf question? Should I just include the needed files and instructions for someone to set it up themselves? How should this one be handled?

Re: RFS: balance -- userland tcp proxy with failover
Hi. Your package is no Debian native package (as you correctly denoted by the -1 on the debian version number). So your source package should consist of the original source archive as provided by upstream (link or rename the upstream tar archive to balance_3.19.orig.tar.gz in the directory above the unpacked source tree). Also, there seems to be a typo (or something similar to a typo) in the manpage: From the examples: $ balance localhost::12 ! localhost::4 ! localhost::2 localhost::2 ! localhost:25 This is a simple test, forming 5 groups where balance is self referencing 22 its own services 22 times. This is simply a test which definitely can be tried at home. The 22 occurences do not really make sense to me. It's listening on port , forwarding it to itself up to 20 times on Port (first 4 groups: 12+4+2+2=20) and the 21st connection is forwarded to port 24 on localhost. And you should probably go through your debian/rules file and eliminate the unneeded dh_* calls. dh_installexamples is one example for such unneeded calls, you don't specify any example file on the command line and you also don't have a debian/examples or debian/package.examples file which might list such examples. Do I need to list any more examples? (SCNR) You shouldn't keep the dh_* calls you commented out. (They are unused, so why should they even be in the debian/rules file?) Your email-address in debian/changelog isn't complete That put aside, your package now looks good to me. cu, sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
