debian/TODO for LedgerSMB v1.3
|
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
- Change how the file permissions are being set for the resulting binary package;
|
| 4 |
for both corrections and for what might be required for the installed pacakge. See
|
| 5 |
also if the 'make install' option takes care of any of the changes, so it doesn't
|
| 6 |
need to be done by the packaging. (See next 2 items for related Lintian results.)
|
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
- Multiple instances of the following of the following Lintian warnings:
|
| 9 |
W: ledgersmb: script-not-executable (6)
|
| 10 |
-> Contact upstream. Could do a chmod on those in debian/rules.
|
| 11 |
W: ledgersmb: executable-not-elf-or-script (72)
|
| 12 |
-> Contact upstream. For now, do a chmod on those in debian/rules.
|
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
- Multiple instances of the following from Lintian. At least one is named
|
| 15 |
"custom" so may need an override because it is meant to be that way.
|
| 16 |
Investigate why the others are showing as empty.
|
| 17 |
I: ledgersmb: package-contains-empty-directory (9)
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
- Autoconfiguration of PostgreSQL and access to it by LedgerSMB using dbconfig-common.
|
| 20 |
Password for postgres superuser? For LedgerSMB admin? Run prepare-company-database.sh
|
| 21 |
script?
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
- Any post install processing for Apache2 should include "a2enmod rewrite" at some
|
| 24 |
point to ensure that module is enabled, and a restart as well because of the newly
|
| 25 |
installed /ledgersmb-httpd.conf. (wwwconfig-common ?) And verify that any apache
|
| 26 |
or other httpd specific commands are verified as installed before attepting to use
|
| 27 |
them.
|
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
- Investigate using the LedgerSMB 'make install' instead of using dh_install for
|
| 30 |
all of the file installation setup.
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
- Investigate updating the debian packaging to use debhelper compatibility level 8
|
| 33 |
and using 'dh' to simplify debian/rules.
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
- It was announced back in Sept 2010 that LSMB v1.2 works with Postgresql v9,
|
| 36 |
which is now available in Debian Testing (wheezy). After testing that version
|
| 37 |
with LSMB, add v9.0 to the possible Postgresql versions in debian/control. There
|
| 38 |
are different needs for the v8 & v9 Postgresql. Or, instead of depending on the
|
| 39 |
versioned postgresql packages, just depend on postgresql; since which version(s)
|
| 40 |
of postgresql might be installed is up to the system administrator, any database
|
| 41 |
related differences for LedgerSMB would need to be taken care of and/or at least
|
| 42 |
referenced in the debian packaging in any case, so it would be better to just
|
| 43 |
depend on postgresql which will get whichever is the current default version.
|
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
- New 1.3 version of LedgerSMB contains an embedded javascript library. The embedded
|
| 46 |
version appears to be 1.8.2. The library is available in Debian as the package
|
| 47 |
libjs-scriptaculous: v1.8.1 in lenny (current oldstable), v1.8.3 in lenny-backports,
|
| 48 |
v1.8.3 in squeeze, v1.9.0 in wheezy. Provide a Lintian override with description of
|
| 49 |
issue, until otherwise resolved.
|
| 50 |
From Chris Travers in the Ledger-smb-devel mailing list:
|
| 51 |
"I don't know of any testing we have done on other versions. We don't use a lot
|
| 52 |
of advanced stuff so I would expect it would work. If bugs are found, though,
|
| 53 |
we can correct them."
|
| 54 |
Test usage of libjs-scriptaculous and change over to using that when it is found
|
| 55 |
to be operational with it.
|
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
- As neccessary, add any other docs that could be registered to doc-base files.
|
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
- Rewrite the debian/copyright file, following DEP-5.
|
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
- Use a patch to create an updated example of the ledgersmb.conf.default file
|
| 62 |
instead of the sed line in debian/rules? Then create a copy of it as ledgersmb.conf
|
| 63 |
for installation to /etc/ledgersmb?
