Bug#1051125: RFS: a2d/2.0.0-1 [ITP] -- APRS to DAPNET portal
Hi Boyuan, Thank you for your valuable feedback on the a2d Debian package. I appreciate your time and insights into the packaging process. Let me address the points you've raised: debian/a2d.init.d: You are absolutely right, I apologize for the oversight. I've removed /usr/local/ and revised debian/a2d.init.d script. /etc/nginx/ssl/: This empty directory is intended to be used by a2d to store user SSL certificates and implement them for nginx. I understand your concern, but this directory serves a purpose within the functionality of the program. /usr/share/scripts/: These scripts are simple helper scripts specific to a2d. I believe that they should not be available globally like other system scripts. Placing them in /usr/share/a2d/scripts/ could be better for managing them. Lintian Warnings: I have addressed the lintian warnings regarding the skip-systemd-native-flag-missing-pre-depends in the package. Thank you for pointing these out. Thank you once again for your guidance and support. I look forward to your response and any further suggestions you may have. Best regards, Yogeswaran.

Hi Boyuan, I want to express my appreciation for your valuable feedback. Your insights have been immensely helpful in improving the package, and I've made several important changes. 1. I have removed empty conffiles. 2. Implemented dh_installcron to manage the crontab within /etc/cron.d/ for a safe and reliable approach. 3. Removed the "Name" field in the upstream/metadata to adhere with the current guidelines. 4. Invasive manipulation of system files has been avoided, using dh_installsystemd, and others to manage these files appropriately. 5. Eliminated wrapper, preinst and postinst scripts. Eliminated the need for mkdir -p and adopted dh_installdirs and dh_installdocs. Significantly minimized the use of postinst and postrm scripts to adhere to best practices. 6. Revised Nginx configuration handling. I've carefully redesigned the handling of Nginx configurations to ensure that default Nginx settings are not overwritten, thus safeguarding any user-modified configurations. Throughout this process, I've looked into other debian system packages to ensure that this package aligns with Debian standards. I would greatly appreciate your review of these changes and any further guidance. I look forward to your continued support. Thank you, Yogeswaran.
