Hi. I think we have discussed that face-to-face at the phpgw conf in Paris last year...
As you may now we are developping some Debian packages for phpgw-based apps for Picoforge (picoforge.org). In this frame, we have thought of basic ways to integrate debconf scripts which handle applications parameterization in the Debian environment, and phpGroupware setup/ Basically, Picoforge requires some typical phpgw configuration, for instance for storing users/groups in LDAP, and we don't want the user to go through the whole setup/ typing of LDAP DNs etc. The packages postinst scripts will deduce proper values (from other applications like LDAP server debconf settings), store them in some file, and later on, at phpgw app installation, the defaults_records will load these in phpgw_config... I'm thinking of trying to establish some better way to do that... so I welcome any comments/advices. Have any of you thought to this problematics and trying and have some "automatic installation" system for phpgw, which would get its conf values from some static file-based system, rather than web dialogs ? The most interesting part would be handling the re-configuration (read dpkg-reconfigure) part and the impact on installed apps in phpgw, and funny ideas like that. I welcome any thoughts ;) Best regards, P.S.: this is more or less linked to my previous question (moderated) about setup/ vs. admin/ for config settings _______________________________________________ phpGroupWare-developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/phpgroupware-developers
