Check out http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ in general, and

Thanks for the info .. I used /usr/libexec/webmin for my RPM package, but I
will switch to /usr/share/webmin for the DPKG.

I used the dpkg --build command.
I will use the _all name in future.

OK - is there any documentation on the formats for these files?

That's a bug - I'll fix that in the final build.

Not really, as it was different to the way all the other (RPM, Solaris, tgz)
Webmin packages were built, and introduced a bunch of dependency problems
between modules.

Just out of curiosity I downloaded the package above.

Looking at it with "dpkg -c", shows a lot of stuff to be installed to
/usr/libexec/webmin/.  Which seems odd to me, since
a) curently there are no packages in debian installing something to
   /usr/libexec
b) most of it seems to be architecture independend and should therefore
   be in /usr/share/fooo
c) Uhm... btw... how did you created a debian package without any
   architecture part (e.g. webmin_1.290_all.deb or webmin_1.290_i386.deb)
d) it missed necassary files, like the debian changelog, copyright
   information etc.
e) It seems to install files with jcameron/uucp as uid/gid?
f) Hmmm... the old webmin packages were splitted in many smaller
   packages; I think that was usefull


Yours sincerely,

Hello Jamie,

To review a package, we need to see the .dsc, .diff.gz and
.orig.tar.gz files.

Best Regards,

Bug#377948: TAG: Webmin -- A web-based administration interface for Unix systems.

2006-07-11 Thread Jamie Cameron
Package: wnpp
Severity: ITP

Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any 
browser
that supports tables and forms (and Java for the File Manager module), you can 
setup
user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and so on.

Webmin consists of a simple web server, and a number of CGI programs which 
directly
update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/passwd. The web server and 
all CGI
programs are written in Perl version 5, and use no non-standard Perl modules. 

A Debian package of Webmin is available from:
http://www.webmin.com/download/deb/webmin_1.290.deb

Webmin is distributed under a BSD license.

 - Jamie
