Package: cakephp-scripts
Version: 1.1.16.5421-1
Having just installed cakephp and cakephp-scripts, I followed the advice
of /usr/share/doc/cakephp/README.Debian and ran bake.php . It wasn't
clear if there was a specific Debian way to setup the directories for a
new app, so I just took the default option at the first question asked
by bake.php "New App Directory: /usr/share/php/app" "Look okay?
(y/n/q)". This caused a lot of warnings because I was not running the
script as root, so I ran it again as root and the script completed,
creating /usr/share/php/app .
Unfortunately this directory was not known to Apache, and so I spent a
long time using the online manual trying to change cakephp and Apache
configuration files. I kept searching for a simpler method, though, and
eventually found that bake.php would produce an instantly usable app
directory if the first question was answered with "n" and then
"/var/www/app" .
I have thus created a patched version of bake.php with defaults that I
believe are more intuitive. Below is a patch:

Let me know if that needs improvement.
