* Package name : neko Version : 1.5 Upstream Author : Nicolas Cannasse (Motion-Twin) * URL or Web page : http://nekovm.org * License : LGPL Description : High-level dynamically typed programming language and VM Neko has been designed to provide a common runtime for several different languages, including JavaScript and haXe. . The compiler converts a source file (.neko) into a bytecode file (.n) that can be executed with the Virtual Machine. You can use the compiler as standalone commandline executable separated from the VM, or as a Neko library to perform compile-and-run for interactive languages. . The virtual machine is both very lightweight and well optimized. It can be easily embedded into other applications, and libraries are directly accessible using the C foreign function interface. I have a neko package ready which includes the Apache 1.3/2.2 modules mod_neko / mod_neko2. But I would like the Apache modules integrated properly with the Debian Apache setup. My plans are to produce two additional packages, libapache-modneko and libapache2-modneko, like: Package: libapache2-modneko Architecture: any Section: web Depends: neko (= ${Source-Version}), apache2 (>> 2.2) Description: Apache module for running Neko programs Neko is a very lightweight and well optimized virtual machine. With this module you can dynamically generate server-side web pages from Apache. First question: Is it called for to have two such libapache{,2}-modneko packages, or should I simply include the mod_neko{,2} in the neko package and test postinst whether there is an Apache installed and if so do the proper Apache module setup? <Apache-newbie-warning> And what is the proper Apache setup? I have googled my way to some incomplete pages about how Apache modules should be set up in Debian, searched through the /usr/share/doc/apache* files, and I have looked at an existing Apache module package (modxslt) to see if I could grok the setup, but I cannot really say I understand what goes where and why. Is there an official policy or step-by-step guide somewhere? </Apache-newbie-warning> Cheers, -- Jens Peter Secher _DD6A 05B0 174E BFB2 D4D9 B52E 0EE5 978A FE63 E8A1 jpsecher gmail com_ A.
