The following lines at the end of freevsd.conf are responsible for this sort
of thing:
# Site specific skel install script
$site_skel_install = '/usr/local/share/freevsd/scripts/site-skel.pl';
# Site specific VS install script
$site_vs_install = '/usr/local/share/freevsd/scripts/site-vs-batch.pl';
# Path to third party RPMs to install
$add_ons = '/usr/local/share/freevsd/pkgs';
This is all to do with the multi-distribution support which we have
incorporated into freeVSD. To explain, based on the ./configure
switches --with-siteconf and --with-hostconf the distro/platfrom specific
files from freevsd/host/<platform> and freevsd/site/<platform> are brought
into play. By default, ./configure assumes you
want --with-siteconf=linux-redhat and --with-hostconf=linux-redhat. To
complete the Debian work properly, you need to duplicate the existing
linux-redhat directory structure to a linux-debian structure and make the
necessary distro/platform changes in there. When you build you must then
specify --with-siteconf=linux-debian and --with-hostconf=linux-debian.
It sounds like this is the bit that has not worked on your installation.
There is a file in /freevsd/site/linux-redhat/scripts/site-vs-batch.pl which
carries out the parsing of files replacing the tag #BINDADDR#. This occurs
towards the end of vsd-vsbatch.pl, but only if there is a suitable entry in
freevsd.conf giving the path to the necessary file, which is placed in
/usr/local/share/freevsd/scripts/ by 'make install' or
/usr/share/freevsd/scripts by an rpm installation.
Get the 'make install' to correctly add those lines in freevsd.conf and
'./configure' to use a linux-debian specific collection of files and we have
the beginnings of a debian-based freevsd solution.
Any problems. Please get in touch, this port appears to be progressing
fairly well...
