[please cc: me if possible] Hi everyone,
I'm currently packaging the w3c-markup-validator (http://validator.w3.org:8001) and I have a few questions -- nothing that stopped me while doing the package, but I'd just like to make sure I used the "best" practice... 1) I'd like to add a binary file to the upstream source (an image, so that all images are available locally and no Internet connection is needed). Obviously, the diff file doesn't like binaries, so what is the best way to do it ? [Currently, I added the image as a uuencoded file, with a "Build-Depends: sharutils" (sharutils contains uudecode) and a line in debian/rules that decodes it at build time] 2) Should I write a man page for a CGI script ? If yes, could someone point me to an example of such a page ? 3) The package contains a Perl script that can be used either as a cgi-bin and on the command line [it is not the same script than in 2) and I already wrote a man page for the command line version]. I can install it in either /usr/lib/cgi-bin or /usr/bin and put a symbolic link in the other directory. What is the best way to do it ? I would think that I should put it in the cgi-bin directory, since the web server (Apache) will probably not follow a symlink, while this is not a problem for a command. Any other thought on the question ? That's it for the moment; I'm pretty sure I'll find other questions to ask but any help/confirmation on these points would already be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance ! Frédéric
