I'm in the process of trying to make my current JSPWiki[0] package into a Debian policy conformant package. The fact that JSPWiki is a Tomcat "module" makes things a little difficult, though.
How big a no-no is it to put configuration files into other places than /etc/jspwiki? The JSPWiki contains two kinds of files which should not be overwritten if they have been modified since the installation: configuration files and default page content. Now, putting the configuration files into /etc/jspwiki would be fine (there are three of these) but these need to be linked to /var/lib/tomcat4/webapps/JSPWiki/WEB-INF and in my trials Tomcat4 does not like symbolic links there. Would it be OK to put these files directly into the /var/lib/tomcat4/webapps/JSPWiki/WEB-INF and ignore lintian/linda complaints? Would the same be OK with the default page content? Just mark all files in /var/lib/jspwiki as configuration files and ignore complaints? And finally, as I'm a relatively new entry in the NM process, would somebody be willing to sponsor this package when/if I get it into a correct shape?
