I just uploaded
http://www.sschwarzer.net/download/webware_port-0.2.tar.gz
If you don't see any more problems I would like to send the port
to the FreeBSD maintainers.
Changes wrt webware_port-0.1:
- /usr/local/Webware has become /usr/local/share/webware
- /usr/local/webware has become /usr/local/www/webkit
- named the user webkit instead of webware (if reinstalling from the
new port, delete user webware first with rmuser(8))
- /usr/local/www/webkit has permissions root:wheel; Cache,
ErrorMsgs, Logs, Sessions have permissions webkit:webkit
- /usr/local/share/webware/WebKit/Native is deleted; installing
mod_webkit should be left to an individual port (see below)
- fixed the packaging list (start/stop script wasn't deleted on
deinstallation)
Some thoughts on other things (taken from the Makefile):
# TODO (or not)
#
# - Don't store info in the package for files that are generated by install.py
# -> So far no real problem because the pyc files are overwritten anyway
# during the installation. Otherwise, this would cause problems if the
# Python versions for the packaging and running are different.
#
# - Copy WebKit.cgi and OneShot.cgi if /usr/local/www/cgi-bin exists
# -> This has the problem that the overall installation result will be
# different depending on installation order of a webserver and Webware.
#
# - Patch so that logging goes to /var/log/webkit for default workdir
# -> I won't do this because there are still "global" settings in the
# files in ${WEBWARE_MASTER_DIR}. Changing them would prohibit other
# AppWorkDirs with different log locations.
#
# - Provide other useful defaults
# -> Which defaults? Please provide input. :-)
#
# - Install mod_webkit if Apache is installed (see ports for PHP, mod_python
# and mod_auth_pgsql)
# -> This should be left to another port, mod_webkit, in order to avoid
# dynamic dependencies and packaging lists, depending on whether mod_webkit
# should be installed or not. (Not everyone who uses Webware will like
# to be forced to also install Apache!)

I rather don't like "system users" in the regular home directory. The
PostgreSQL port for FreeBSD behaves similar. (I don't know of the
policies of other ports, though.)

This seems appropriate for Python scripts; MoinMoin also installs in
/usr/local/share. - Done. :-)
