Hello there. I'm maintaining an unofficial package, apache-lingerd [1]. It's a new flavour of the official Debian apache source tree.
As it won't be included in Debian, and as some users requested me to maintain the package against the last sid packages, I'm a little bit confused : - If I make a package in my personal repository with a version number higher than the official package, users can get confused with apt-get upgrade (would upgrade to my apache package even if they don't want my lingerd package). - If I use the same version number, it won't work. Indeed, as every flavour, apache-lingerd depends on apache-common which provides /usr/sbin/apache-modconf. The official apache-modconf does not support apache-lingerd but my version does. What would be, to you, the best way of numbering an unofficial package which is already existing, with the same name in Debian ? That's a really special case I guess and I haven't found yet a good solution. Any help/comment/idea is welcome. Other advices about maintaining a patched debian package is also welcome.
