Great news.
Last Friday I installed a fresh Debian unstable. Today I installed Cherokee and I found two little problems.
1.- After the install, the system tries to start Cherokee and fails because it says it was already started ( that is impossible as it's the first time it's installed ). A /etc/init.d/cherokee stop and start solved the problem.
2.- If you connect to localhost after starting Cherokee you'll get a 500 Internal Server error because the default doc root does not exist (/var/www). It would be nice to have a sample informative page there as a starting point to avoid that nasty error message.
Best regards, Rodrigo

FYI, I have just uploaded Cherokee for inclusion in Debian! I wanted to include the relevant mail here, but -of course- as �lvaro is the maintainer for the package, it is only he who will receive it. Anyway, consider it done :-D
Now, what comes next? One of the reasons to wait until now before uploading Cherokee was the Sarge freeze - We didn't want to upset the system with new packages and dependencies. Cherokee will _NOT_ be a part of this Debian stable release (which should come out in one to two months time), but it will become a part of our next release (Etch). As of now, Cherokee will start being autobuilt in all of the official Debian architectures, and binary packages will enter the unstable (Sid) distribution. Once Sarge is released, Cherokee will also enter the new Testing (Etch).
Right now, it can take a couple of days (or even weeks, I hope not) to get Cherokee to be hand-approved as a new package and enter Unstable. Meanwhile, I logged in to a couple of development machines to hand-compile it as a first test. You can see the results here:

Now, �lvaro: As for a short list of differencies between your packaging and mine, I am attaching a very simple .diff.gz - You missed a build-depends (on GNU TLS), I added myself as a co-maintainer for your package, and a very simplistic modification in the description to avoid a Lintian/Linda minor warning :)
Greetings!
