Create these dirs: /etc/typo3/conf.d/ /usr/share/typo3/conf.d/ Ship the Debian-specific defaults in here: /usr/share/typo3/conf.d/50-debian.php The configuration loading code would check both directories and load all of the configuration files from both, with the /etc ones overriding the /usr ones. I did something similar in clamav-unofficial-sigs, but that is shell instead of PHP. > The comments say: "The pcntl_exec() function works exactly like the > standard (unix-style) exec() function.

Yeah, it probably would be simpler to switch to php5-imagick than to switch to a sane version of exec(). >> The package unilaterally takes over /cms on any non-typo3 domains also >> hosted by the machine.

In my opinion the way web things would ideally work in Debian is that upstream ship a command to setup a site (say typo3-new-site), which is passed some parameters (domain name, url path, storage folders, databases etc), generates recommended, secure configuration that doesn't affect any other sites and does the initial database/filesystem setup needed. The Debian package would then ask the sysadmin via debconf prompts if they would like to setup a site and if so, for the parameters to the script and then run the script in the postinst. >> Having a default password is a bad idea. > > This is standard behaviour of typo3.

One of the reasons Debian exists is to improve situations like this. >> There are a metric buttload of embedded code copies still: > > Unfortunately none of these projects exist as debian package (or at > least under a name i could find).

You might want to team up with the JavaScript and PHP teams: http://wiki.debian.org/Javascript http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-php These folks would probably be willing to help you out with packaging the embedded code copies, especially if you are willing to help maintain some packages. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
