Hi Massimo, I thought that would be. Because of the cache and sessions dir for example.
But in order to stay close to the guidelines, (which is required for repo) We need to define the purpose of web2py application folder structure. But controllers/models/modules/views/cron are the core of a web2py application. And should formal be under "/opt/"or "/usr/", right? (See the point of view in an earlier mail : extension/application) The /cache, /errors/,sessions, tests are true /var directories and are even created instantly when missing. Doubtful for me are /databases /static /languages, I believe that these should belong in the /var directory. Because language ain't static and database contains files which are create on database connection. Static could contain files which are dynamic from the app view, so I think a doubtful /var file. If Massimo or someone else can confirm this. Then I believe that Dima is able to define a directory structure for non compiled apps. With or without links. I suggest we first do the non compiled apps. So we can consider that as done. Before we continue to discuss the compiled apps, Regards Mark Breedveld, P.s. we could create our own apt-repo (like moovidia in its early day), but this should our last option... -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: web2py@googlegroups.com [mailto:web...@googlegroups.com] Namens mdipierro Verzonden: maandag 22 maart 2010 19:29 Aan: web2py-users Onderwerp: [web2py] Re: Debian / Ubuntu packager needed!
