Hello All, As part of my paid Job I am working on Karrage, and open source Django based application application for management of users and resources on shared cluster systems.
http://code.vpac.org/trac/karaage As this is an open source GPL program (yes, management have already agreed to this), long term I would like to see this included in Debian. Short term however, there are a number of technical issues that need resolving. For example, dependencies on external libraries that are not yet in Debian. On issue that has been nagging us - what is the best way to handle python based config files? e.g. the settings.py file that is standard for Django applications? At present our (planned but not implemented) approach is to have our python dist-utils script create a directory karaage/conf under the python path, and then karaage can import then using "import karaage.conf.settings" for example. Use of dist-utils and cdbs makes the debian/rules file very simple. However, from the point of view of the package, it would be better if we could put the config files under /etc/karaage. Just wondering if this situation has been encountered before? If so, would rather use an existing solution rather then invent my own. Ideally any solution should be similar to what you would get by installing directly from source and RPMs too. Also: Is there any Debian specific concerns I should be aware of when packaging Django applications? Please CC me, I am not subscribed (not yet anyway).
