Hi,
today the "ownCloud for Debian"-Team decided not to upload the package for
Debian 7.0/Wheezy.
Most challenging part has most likely been to get all the copyrights and
licensing sorted out.
Finally we had too less testing time especially because of the necessary
patches to install ownCloud according to the FHS. (We had the first
installable package on May 19th - on May 20th we had the last chance for an
upload to Debian 7. Tough ride!)
Now that we have movable apps - it would help a lot have movable /config and
/data. ;-) Can we have that as a feature for OC5?
Moving /data is already possible by changing the "datadirectory" entry in to
config file, if you set the value in a default config file it should remember it
during the installation wizzard.
Moving the config folder is a bit difucult since you would need to store the
location of the config in the config. The only way I can see having an easy to
change option in the code.
The code should check if there is a config file in /etc/owncloud and if so use
it, if not, get it from the usual place. This place is the place where configs
should go if distributed properly and oC should support that, see [1] for
details.
That way packagers could include a proper preconfigured config.php in their
packages.
Hmm,
that's a good point.
But what about the scenario that someone is installing and running ownCloud on
a machine without having root access?
For that, ownCloud should read the system config and another user config
file. The best solution would be if there were a system-config (in
/etc/owncloud) and a user config. Some config values might be not
allowed to be overwritten by non root users, ie. the data path.
A admin provided config.php would always override a config.php in the owncloud
directory. that is not good.
No, a bit of smart code is needed.
Or if you want to have several owncloud installations on the same machine? A
normal user could run it from inside their normal homedirectory.
And even if I have root access then I´m not sure if I want to give the apache
user write accesse to /etc/owncloud/config.php
No, the /etc/owncloud config ist only readable. The config there acts as
a base fallback or initial config. You need two.
