Feivel is trying to do debian packaging...
<feivel> Anyone with an idea about the grave bugs under bugs.debian.org/citadel-server? <bennabiy> feivel: I would use the easy install method rather than the debian repository <feivel> bennabiy: why? <bennabiy> I do not know who did the packaging for the debian files, but they are out of date <bennabiy> the easy install builds citadel for your use, and keeps everything in one place, and is the most supported way to do it <bennabiy> and you are more likely to receive quicker bug fixes <feivel> well, to answer your first implied question, that would be me <feivel> and they are out of date because it's so difficult to see new version from looking at the website <bennabiy> feivel: best is to follow the git repo at code.citadel.org <bennabiy> http://code.citadel.org/?p=citadel.git;a=summary <feivel> quite frankly I do not at all agree on using an external packaging over the distribution specific one <feivel> it'd be better to find a better way to keep the Debian packages up to date <bennabiy> feivel: external packaging? <feivel> btw the website you mention shows Release_902 as the latest tag <feivel> bennabiy: external as in not inside Debian, not being part of the packaging system <bennabiy> yes, as a tag, master is currently 911 or 912 <bennabiy> feivel: up to you. I know citadel builds on debian just fine <bennabiy> and installs fine <feivel> and you find that out how? <feivel> isn't this what tags are meant for? <bennabiy> Yes, although it is now a rolling release and there are a couple changes which are being done with the software which warrants a fast release cycle <bennabiy> 3 weeks ago 910 was done, and I know master is at least 911 <feivel> fine by me, just almost impossible to find as a packager <feivel> obviously one solution is to remove the packages from Debian, if that is what this community would prefer <bennabiy> That would be a question for IG, and he is best reached on uncensored.citadel.org <bennabiy> He does not come in here very often <bennabiy> at one point there was someone else who was doing debian builds and making packages <bennabiy> feivel: I will tell you this, the easy install script and compile method produces a very clean and usable install with updates only requiring rebuilding what is necessary. <feivel> that would be dothebart <bennabiy> feivel: yes, and he has not been doing much for the last 2 years in citadel <feivel> bennabiy: and a de-install? <feivel> also you said it includes everything, does this mean it installs all dependencies as well? <bennabiy> for i in /usr/local/citadel /usr/local/webcit /usr/local/libcitadel; do rm -rf $i;done <bennabiy> feivel: you just need to install the build dependencies as per http://www.citadel.org/doku.php/installation:easyinstall:prereq-debian.html <bennabiy> for deinstall, there are 3 directories and 2 files in /etc/init.d/ which need to be removed <bennabiy> everything is contained there <bennabiy> (there being in those directories, not /etc/init.d) <bennabiy> there is a map http://www.citadel.org/doku.php/documentation:file_layout to show what goes where for comparison <bennabiy> granted the latest versions have moved a lot of the config files into the database, and the goal is all of them, so there will be more updates coming
