hey folks, just to give an update with what my plans are wrt webapps-common: at this point we have the meat of the webapps policy sitting in cvs. thanks to everyone who's contributing to this! while there will certainly be many significant changes to the policy between now and our final draft, i think we have a good idea of the spirit of the policy and where we are generally headed. so, i'm now planning to put some more time into webapps-common in the weeks to come. the first step i will take is to develop a list of questions (in the form of a debconf templates file) with which the admin will be prompted during the installation of webapps and friends. these would be questions like "enable this package automatically?" and "for which web servers should we enable this?" after this list of questions gets relatively stable, it shouldn't be too hard for me to rip some code from dbconfig-common to do all the debconf register voodoo. after that, there's writing out the maintainer script includes, which will link debconf with maintainer script logic with the internal script functions that actually enable/disable/do stuff. so... that's where things are. after i draft up an initial list of questions, i'll post them to the list for ocmments/suggestions/additions. sean --
