This issue is still problematic (ie I do not know the answer and a good packaging cannot modify a (not owned) global configuration file) Other problem I got are config files in general. The same config file is used by several packages so I must design config and postconf script to deal with this. You can see my current state here : http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/koha.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/wip (not in a usable state as I just started to rewrite the management of conffig file....) If you have some remarks about the packaging splitting, I would be glad to get some feedback. http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/koha.git;a=blob;f=debian/control;hb=wip > I was wondering what I could do to > help you finish the packaging. > I work with a couple of Debian Developers and Francois was telling me > on friday that if we get the packaging finished soon, that although we > have missed lenny, if its done before january we might get it into the > next ubuntu release. > > If you havent had an answer on the below question let me know and I'll > go find the answer for you Ok, if you can test if koha works with current expat parser, it will help. I you kwow koha, telling me which config file is needed by which program would also be a good thing. The idea is to be able to answer to the question: Which config file (and which values will be read in it) do I need on each machine A, B and C if I want to setup: - koha opac and intranet on machine A - zebra server on machine B - pazpar2 server on machine C And which crontab/script do I need to run on each of these machines. I CC koha-devel in case someone else can answer these questions.
