Full algorithm:
1. You change debian/LocalSite.cfg: s{/tmp/wiki}{#UNDEFINED_TEMP_DIR#};
2. in postinst You do:
2.1
if grep -q #UNDEFINED_TEMP_DIR# /etc/twiki/LocalSite.cfg; then
twiki_session_dir=`mktemp -d /tmp/twiki.XXXXXXXXXX`
perl -pi -e \
"s/(TempfileDir).*/$1} = '$twiki_session_dir';/" \
/etc/twiki/LocalSite.cfg
chown $TWIKI_OWNER:www-data $twiki_session_dir
else
twiki_session_dir=`grep TempfileDir /etc/twiki/LocalSite.cfg \
| sed "s/=[[:space:]]*'//"|sed "s/'.*//"`
fi
# [1]
chmod 1770 $twiki_session_dir
in [1] you can insert the verification code, for example:
if test -d $twiki_session_dir; then
# $twiki_session_dir is directory and exists
found_owner=`ls -l $twiki_session_dir|awk '{ print $3 }'`
found_group=`ls -l $twiki_session_dir|awk '{ print $4 }'`
if test $found_owner = $TWIKI_OWNER -a \
$found_group = www-data; then
# previous install is ok (owner:group)
else
# unknown owner
fi
else
# $twiki_session_dir is not directory
# you can recreate it with new path
fi
3. You can show errors with help of debhelper's dialogs.
