Bug#424884: bcfg2-server: Please include create-debian-pkglist.py
Package: bcfg2-server Version: 0.8.6.1-1.1etch1 Severity: wishlist Hi, I'm having my first experiences with bcfg2 and with the hasle of configuring it I saw this script: http://trac.mcs.anl.gov/projects/bcfg2/browser/trunk/bcfg2/tools/create-debian-pkglist.py With some others on the same folder, I read something about a bcfg2-scripts package but it doesn't seem to be around yet. So small scripts like this one that would make life easier when using bcfg2 with Debian would be nice to have, at least on /usr/share/doc/bcfg2-server/examples ;) Cheers, Marc PS: And thanks for packaging bcfg2, it's really nice once you figure out howto configure it! ;) -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-xen-686 Locale: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages bcfg2-server depends on: ii bcfg2 0.8.6.1-1.1etch1 Configuration management client ii gamin 0.1.8-2 File and directory monitoring syst ii libxml2-utils 2.6.27.dfsg-1XML utilities ii lsb-base3.1-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii python 2.4.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.5.12 register and build utility for Pyt ii python-cheetah 2.0~rc7-1text-based template engine and Pyt ii python-gamin0.1.8-2 Python binding for the gamin clien ii python-lxml 1.1.1-1 pythonic binding for the libxml2 a ii python-pyopenssl0.6-2.3 Python wrapper around the OpenSSL ii ucf 2.0020 Update Configuration File: preserv bcfg2-server recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The problem with the scripts as they are now is that there are just too many dependencies for the scripts to include them in any of the current packages.

The problem with the scripts as they are now is that there are just too many dependencies for the scripts to include them in any of the current packages. I agree with Marc. I would have appreciated being able to find these scripts in the /usr/share/doc/bcfg2-server/examples folder. I think it is unnecessary (and perhaps even inappropriate) for a package to have dependencies for example scripts contained within the doc subdirectory. That said, a word of warning about this particular script. I retrieved it from upstream and found that it needs site-specific customization. It is unlikely to be usable out of the box because you cannot configure your own set of APT sources without changing the actual code. It's an easy change, and this seems acceptable for a script in a doc/.../examples subdirectory, but trying to make it usable from a config file will take more work.
