Dear mentors, I am working on packaging phpLDAPadmin which is a php product to manage an LDAP server.
I have installed and used the product without any problems and I have a few questions regarding its packaging. I am using yada to help me with the package building process and inspired myself a lot from phpmyadmin which is a very similar package to phpldapadmin. Packages are available on http://www.segonds.org/ 1. Even though, Architecture was set to 'all' in debian/packages, the 'changes' file I obtain is tagged with 'i386'. Is this normal? The same thing happen when I repackage phpmyadmin. 2. There is an INSTALL file in the upstream .tar.gz and I want to copy it in /usr/share/doc/phpldapadmin but 'lintian -l' is complaining about it saying that upstream install instructions are useless to the Debian users installing the package. Can I rename this file as README, as it contains more information than the traditionnal INSTALL instructions? 3. How far should I go in configuring the package after installation? Should I prompt the user for the information about the LDAP server he/she intends to connect to? Should I let the user manually edit the configuration file. Changing two lines is likely to be enough in most situations. Sincerely, David. -- David Segonds - PGP 0x1F7A3E7A
