Hey one and all, Congrats on the 1.0 release, I like what I see :) As a user..
A lot of you probably know me around KDE, and my involvement upstream as a packager in Fedora's KDE SIG, so, yeah, hi :) I've been hacking on RPM packages for ownCloud since about rc1, and I have a few issues that, afaict, are blocking inclusion in Fedora's main repositories. At some point in the future, I would *love* to see ownCloud deployed for Fedora users or contributors when it is more mature; it's something I've had in mind since I first attended Frank's keynote at Camp in january. But that requires RPM packages. But enough aimless ramblings :) A few things I would hope to see fixed in 1.1, or sooner even, so that we could have an easy to deploy Fedora packages: Right now, the current setup for most Fedora web applications is to have them installed into /usr/share, simply because it's impossible to predict where the httpd is looking for web applications; it could be /var/www/html/, or it could be some user specified location, or many locations (on a multi-user system). After it is installed, it's implied that users will softlink it to their webroot. Of course, this setup doesn't really work out of the box, as the data/ directory wouldn't be writable by the apache user, nor should user data be in the /usr/share tree. As a result, I've had the idea to set /var/lib/owncloud/data as the datadir. I'm curious to know ownCloud's multiuser plans, and how that would work with such a distropackage set up. Secondly, the method fedora users use, to symlink to the webroot directory, simply doesn't work with how ownCloud calculates $WEBROOT in inc/lib_base.php starting on line 35. The combination of __FILE__ (which points to /usr/share) and $_SERVER["DOCUMENTROOT"] (/var/www/html) doesn't play well together at all. That's pretty much a blocker that I would need to fix to make this package work in Fedora... Of course, I don't know PHP well enough to make something work. ;( Ryan -- Ryan Rix == http://hackersramblings.wordpress.com | http://rix.si/ == == http://rix.si/page/contact/ if you need a word ==
