Re: Question about maintaining the unofficial/parallel apache-lingerd package.

[Alexis Sukrieh <sukria@sukria.net>]

Hello there.

If some of you here have the time for it, apache-lingerd is ready for
tests :)

I've packaged apache-lingerd in a new way :

    - apache-lingerd is still compiled in the apache way, with being a
      new flavour (so no changes here).
    
    - apache-lingerd now depends on apache-common-lingerd.
    
    - apache-common-lingerd provides default conf for apache-lingerd and
      dpkg-diverts /usr/sbin/apache-modconf from apache-common.

This way, you can have both apache-lingerd and apache on the same box
and maintaining the apache-lingerd sources against the official apache
one becomes easier for me.

The numbering is similar to the apache's one.

BTW, I've added a manpage for lingerd and that makes the apache-lingerd
package lintian valid ;)

I've test with success the package on two boxes but will be very
interesting in hearing your reports. 

Regards,

Alexis.
    
Note that, if don't know, apache-lingerd is available on my repo, see
