Hi!
I am trying to put the finishing touches on a package of Diogenes, a
web content management system. The package relies on a MySQL database,
and this database is created based on some information provided by the
user through debconf. I am down to one lintian warning :
W: diogenes: postinst-use
Thanks for all the input! From this discussion I conclude that in my
package's case there is no call for db_input in postinst, so I just
commented out those calls and lintian/linda are happy :)
Maybe it would be useful to summarise the cases where you are pretty
forced to use db_input calls in pos
If someone is interested in working on packages for sylpheed-claws

unavailable!), you can use the diffs I put online to save a little time.

make them work for sylpheed-

Ah well.. Diogenes *has* been packaged since 2 Dec 2003 but I wanted to
make sure the packages were rock solid before looking for a sponsor :)

Ok, got it, /etc/diogenes/apache.conf needed to be created before

I think I've got it : diogenes.config tried to figure out the database

I have gone ahead and made the changes so that you can see them in
action. This is done in 0.9.9.3-5 which I have uploaded to your queue.
As far as I can tell, that deals with the last item on your initial
review of the package, let me know if you find anything else!

Hi Matthijs,
When you have a multibinary package, debian/tmp is the default place
where files get put. It's then up to you to move those files out of
there to put them into the various binary packages' directories, for
instance using dh_movefiles (see manpage) if you use debhelper.
In your case,
Upon purging a package, it is expected that all installed data should be
removed. The package "diogenes" installs a MySQL database and a MySQL
user by prompting the user via debconf for the admin user/password.

So far there are no command-line flags, you can just specify the name
