The package should ship a script that can be called either manually by the sysadmin or automatically by the maintainer scripts (using debconf answers) to setup a site or a sub-path of a site. Database (with South etc) and configuration upgrades (with Config::Model or similar) are great, please do them as automatically as possible after confirmation using debconf and or provide scripts for the sysadmin to do them. Data: I like to differentiate between data supporting the package and data that belongs to the sysadmin/site. IMO the former belongs in /var somewhere and the latter at a path chosen by the sysadmin. I don't think this is gotten right by much software, including by all database packages. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
