Ah, i see you are the package maintainer! So, the people running debian/unstable apt-get it. For Ubuntu, you could just download the package itself from: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/main/couchdb >> > Is this a local modification, the distribution init.d script should. >> >> Well, the README of CouchDB said that there were still distrobution >> specific steps needed to make that happen, besides copying the script >> to /etc/init.d but perhaps I've misunderstood .. haven't tried it >> yet. > > No, there are no additional steps. :) Noted :-) I hadn't rebooted yet. > If you are running a daemon, you should really have two things: > > * a system startup script > * a system specific user to run the daemon, for security > > These two things I would consider baseline for running a daemon. Which is exactly what they get it they follow those steps. I assume the debian package also does it like this? PS. Since you are a debian packager; perhaps you can look into a qooxdoo package? Although itsn't very hard to fetch it from SVN and just run make; it might make it somewhat easier for new users. Esspecially if it drops default apache scripts in sites-available for things like the api-browser, etc. Greetings, Ralf Nieuwenhuijsen
