Bug#187460: Need some help to package apache-lingerd
Hello there.
I'm pretty interested in trying to package apache-lingerd, which has
been requested for more than 500 days now :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=187460
Could someone point me to some piece of docs on how the Debian Apache
Maintainers team bild their package ?
The fact is that lignerd needs the following steps to be packaged :
First step : building lingerd :
- tuning of config.h file
- user creation : 'lingerd'
- directory creation for hosting pidfile and unix domain socket
(/var/run/lingerd).
- compilation of lingerd binary and installation of it.
Second step : patching Apache.
- add some files to the apache src source tree
- patch some apache native files
- compile apache
Third step :
- update the init.d startup script for apache : lingerd must be launched
before apache to work properly.
I'm sure that the team has a lot of guidelines to build such a package
but I cannont find any docs about this.
Help will be welcome :)
