copy of phpCAS (http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/moodle/filelist and
http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/glpi/filelist).
While you are at it, as your package also uses domxml-php4-php5.php why don't
you also package it? (it would be better if the code was finally ported instead
of using a wrapper, though).
debian/control:
Depends: ${misc:Depends}, php5, php5-curl, php-db
Does it really need a web SAPI? or can it be used with php5-cli? in the latter
case add an ORed dependency on php5-cli in addition to php5.
debian/rules:
What about cleaning it up?
debian/copyright:
Upstream Author:
Pascal Aubry
What about also displaying his email address?
License: (stated at : http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASC/phpCAS)
what about docs/README?
- In case of jurisdiction dispute, the French law is authoritative.
let's see what ftpmasters say about this.
debian/dirs:
empty? delete it
debian/docs:
ditto
debian/README.Debian:
This packaging needs testing as I'm not fully sure there ain't
regressions introduced by this upgrade of the DOM parsing library.
Have you at lest tested the basic functionality of the library with the newer
version of domxml-php4-php5.php or are you blindly packaging stuff?
CAS.php:
define(CAS_PGT_STORAGE_FILE_DEFAULT_PATH,'/tmp');
..
define(CAS_PGT_STORAGE_FILE_FORMAT_PLAIN,'plain');
Doesn't look good at all.
CAS/client.php:
if ( $this-isProxy() ) {
// pass the callback url for CAS proxies
$validate_url .= 'pgtUrl='.$this-getCallbackURL();
}
Improper sanitation of getCallbackURL which uses data like REQUEST_URI; and
there's more about this, but I'm better going to test it and send the info to
bugtraq.
What about also shipping the api docs?
