I lost 3 or 4 hours to figure that I needed this package, it is said nowhere that there is a dependency for it, and I don't know for apache, but with lighttp there is no error that tells it ... Not being able to see errors is definitely a problem. Ideally I'd like to see a mercurial-fcgi Debian package which depends on a compatible web server, python-flup and contains some documentation about how to get up and running. (similar things could be done e.g. for the hgk extension, a package that enables the extension in e.g. /etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/hgk.rc and depends on tcl/tk) Thomas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://intevation.de/~thomas/ - OpenPGP key: 0x5816791A Intevation GmbH, Osnabrueck - Register: Amtsgericht Osnabrueck, HR B 18998 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner pgpwXoPuFeK9i.pgp Description: PGP signature

README.Debian would be the second best choice. Debian users generally look at README.Debian before the source file itself. But the best would be to put the info in both. Ideally I'd like to see a mercurial-fcgi Debian package which depends on a compatible web server, python-flup and contains some documentation about how to get up and running. Good idea. I think apache2 | httpd, python-flup would be good start for dependencies. If some are missed, please tell me. (similar things could be done e.g. for the hgk extension, a package that enables the extension in e.g. /etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/hgk.rc and depends on tcl/tk) Right. This would solve the problems with Recommends or Suggests or Depends... Note: William Pitcock had answered to my call on debian-devel and proposed to co-maintain the mercurial package. So I hope that we will more reactive on this package. Best regards, Vincent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
