Hello,
On Jan 21, Alessandro Razeto told me that he gave up maintaining debian
packages:
NO, I have no time at all to follow openca.
Feel free to work on it.
Please start from the debian folder on the openca
main cvs.
so we should discuss about restructuring it if necessary, and choose
another maintainer. I'm working on it too but I'm not very good at both openca
and making debian packages.

Subject: Re: [OpenCA-Devel] is CVS version buildable?
I've already pulled openca_0_9_2_1 from cvs and build packages, but
have some errors and haven't figured out what to do next.
1st of all, configure_etc didn't create openca_start and openca_stop, so
I've just renamed templates to start/stop.
If anyone has any packages, I'm first to test it :) I tried to build some
debian packages, but unfortunately I wasn't succeeded - I'm not sure
whether there are any debian policy suggestions about openca, and what
are scheme of packages in ancient versions - e.g. I don't know whether
there was scheme like openca-[component]*deb, or
Here's diff for 0.9.2.1 obtained with buildpackage, based on debian
version by Alessandro Razeto from CVS. It builds packages on my Sarge
system, but lintian gives some warnings which could be ignored for now.
Perhaps we should ask Alessandro to update CVS after we fix lintian's
warnings
openca-ca*deb/openca-ext*deb. I guess in the first case there should be
another packages for node interface for each component. However with
scheme ca/ext packages there probably should be node component for ca in
ca package, and configurable node component in ext package, depending
which modules user will enable in config.xml.
it creates openca-{ca,ra,pub,node,doc} debians package.
In a fact, what is general suggestion for using node interface ? If I plan
my PKI with each component (ca/ra/pub/ldap..) on separate machine, it's
clear
that I should install node for each component with this component, but
if I plan my PKI with ca on one machine and ra/pub/ldap on another
(probably most common scheme) should I install node for ra/pub/ldap
separately, or am I able to use the same installed node component for all
each of openca-{ca,ra,pub} packages depends on openca-node, so if you
install ra and pub packages there will be one node package.
of them? Documentation isn't clear about it, however make install-ext
installs one node interface for all. There's also some information about
test installation with all components including ca on one machine in
config.xml (yes, security, yes :), but I have no idea what about node
interface in this case.
BTW is there available some clear list what perl modules I need for
OpenCA? I know that I'm able to use some modules installed with os (I also
know about these debian modules versions issues), and use some (or all)
included with openca tgz, but I think that list of all modules with
suggested version and status (optional/obligatory/dependent by) would
Debianized packages already includes all necessary dependencies and
recommends libdbd-pg-perl | libdbd-mysql-perl, but _BEWARE_ of
libnet-server-perl package of 0.87-2 version. It doesn't accept
user/group like www-data. It supposed to be fixed in 0.87-1 bug
#223383, but is not.
here's link to diff for fixing it:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/new_server.diff?bug=223383&msg=6&att=1&archive=yes
be useful. Such list would probably give me clear look which of the needed
modules are available with debs, and which are distributed by openca or
CPAN archives.
To be frank with creating debian packages for openca, it would probably
make sense to create packages for OpenCA::* modules, to make them
available like other packaged perl modules - including them silently in
openca*deb would be easier, but would probably cause some chaos.
