Dear Olivier,

I had a look at mobyle.  I recommend to ask for feedback on debian-mentors or
debian-python as your package does not seem to get the dependancies properly,
as indicated by the lintian error ‘missing-dependency-on-python-support’.

I see that the package build-depends on the Javascript libraries.  Is that necessary ?

About the following lines in debian/postinst:

        if [ ! -e /usr/share/mobyle/htdocs/data ] ; then
                ln -s /var/lib/mobyle/data /usr/share/mobyle/htdocs/data
        fi

Can't it be done through debian/mobyle.links ?

        chown -R www-data:www-data /var/log/mobyle
        chown -R www-data:www-data /var/lib/mobyle

If the mobyle package is the only one to create these directories, then their
group can be set in the binary package directly.

Bon dimanche,

Charles
