Dear fellow Linux users, I would like to address an issue which has been a thorn in my side for a long time. Recently I made multi-instance scripts for some server packages like Apache, etc. I also noticed, that the PowerDNS package has a m.i. script provided.
I, however, do not have the capacity to constantly repackage all the packages as new versions come out. I'm fairly sure I can get an ok for it from my superiors, so I would like to offer my scripts and coding skills to the community if we could agree on a standard schema for the alternate configuration files. Please also send me the list of packages, you would like to see modified in this manner. I propose two variants: - Gentoo-style: (dot separator; symlinks) /etc/init.d/apache2, /etc/apache2 vs. /etc/init.d/apache2.alt->(symlink)->/etc/init.d/apache2 and /etc/apache2.alt - PowerDNS-style: (dash separator) /etc/init.d/pdns vs /etc/init.d/pdns-recursor Please note, that I'm unfamiliar with Debian (development) customs, so please apologize if I violated protocol. ;) Yours sincerely -- Janos Pasztor busin...@janoszen.hu http://janoszen.hu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
