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.
