Packaging data for a CGI
Hi all,
I'm packaging a command line app called hoogle that can also run as
a CGI (depending on whether QUERY_STRING or REQUEST_URI is defined).
The source package generates three binary packages:
hoogle - the binary
hoogle-data - architecture independant data
hoogle-cgi - creates a symlink from /usr/lib/cgi-bin to the binary
in /usr/bin/
The issue I'm having is that the CGI also has some resources (an
XML file, a javascript file and some PNGs) that need to be put
somewhere appropriate so the web server can serve them in response
to a standard HTTP GET.
I would put this somewhere under /var/www but the policy manual
says thats a bad idea:
http://webapps-common.alioth.debian.org/draft/html/ch-issues.html
Where should I put these resources?
Cheers,
Erik
