Midgard on debian = more freedom

Posted on 2006-05-12 12:14:31 EEST.


I started to debianize latest Midgard 1.8alpha2 release and during all the changes I made I realized that debian users should get more freedom and more flexibility while using Midgard Framework and Midgard CMS with this particular distro.

Debian policy doesn't allow to include symlinks like `libmidgard.so` is library package. Package name must be renamed following SONAME , so new midgard-core debian package will be named libmidgard9. We can include only those so files and ( symlinks ) which contain library version in name.

In theory ( you know how practice always looks like ;) I should be able to update my production server to Midgard 1.8 using Apache1 server , and use Midgard 1.9 development release branch with Apache2 and PHP5 on the same server without any need to break some setup.

In the other news. I can not stand it any longer. lintian complains about missing manual pages in debian packages for midgard , so I started to write those.
I should commit manuals to CVS repository soon.
