I want to separate the admin because it's something the user should not touch, and should be upgraded everytime the package is upgraded. Moving the admin application to the userland won't allow upgrading it with new versions of the package. But... the user has to run the admin project, so it needs to write sessions, logs, etc. for this project. And keep > the ports in mind.

Starting the rocket server is done by any user without special permssions (tcp port over 1000). So we have a dillema: adding apache as a dependency and running it all under apache umbrella would make things easier. At the same time this breaks the easy of use of web2py when rocketserver is used and would force the users to be in a special group to be able of program with web2py. > Just too keep it going and to keep focus.

Anyway, I've requested the creation of a packaging group in alioth.debian.org. As soon as it is created by the admins I'll tell it here, so anybody can join to help. Regards José L. > > Mark,
