Hi, I had a nice and productive session working towards a clean packaging of the 0.6.x series. Now, there are a couple of items I was checking with Álvaro that he thought should be commented on by you, the community.
Cherokee is meant to be a system server, a daemon. In Unix systems,
that usually means it should live in /usr/sbin. All nice and fine -
But we Debian people are sometimes passionate when it comes to things
being solid - Why are then the different Cherokee man pages in the '1'
section? If they are system commands, meant to be called only by root,
they should be in section '8'.
Álvaro explained that part of the design criteria for Cherokee is not
just to provide a systemwide webserver - It should also allow a
regular user to expose any given directory, even called without a
configuration:
$ cherokee -r /home/gwolf -p 8008
(The -p switch is not yet part of Cherokee, but I understand it will
very soon be added). Now, this makes Cherokee a convenience binary for
anybody! And if it is meant to be called by anybody, why hide it in
/usr/sbin (which is not in the default user's execution path)?
So... Guys, what do you think? Should cherokee be moved out of
/usr/sbin and into glorious and prestigious /usr/bin? :-)
I'd rather not do this as a Debian-specific change - I want my
packaging to be as close as the official binaries as possible.
Greetings,
