Re: RFS: Sponsor needed for pmwiki



Hello Thomas,

thank you for your feedback.
Some remarks to the following points:

* In your debian/postinst script, you are making the assumption that
there's already apache installed, and a group www-data that is created.
That might well not be the case, considering your dependencies.

www-data is a user in the default passwd file and is used by any web server
in Debian. So it does not restrict the use of apache.

* Please don't package docs/INSTALL.txt in the binary package of pmwiki,
because it doesn't fit Debian anymore. Best would be to write your own
DEBIAN.Readme to tell the administrator what to do to bring pmwiki up
and running on a Debian system and package that one instead.

docs/INSTALL.txt is not packaged. It is ignored in the install routine
of the Makefile. Is it probably a more common way to write a patch that deletes it?

* Also, please setup a link like this: ln -s /usr/share/pmwiki/locale
/etc/pmwiki, so that configuration is made inside /etc/pmwiki and not in
/usr/share anymore.

I guess you mean "ln -s /etc/pmwiki /usr/share/pmwiki/local". That is
already done in the debian/postinst script.

* By the way, you have the following debhelper issue (shown by lintian):
W: pmwiki source: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends pmwiki
Please add ${misc:Depends} as dependency of pmwiki

Strange, my lintian shows me that the package is clean. Will check that :)

Best regards,
Robert
