I need a debian package for a few servers that I control where I am
going to put some webware code into production.

All my work till now has been done with webware in /usr/local/Webware,
but since the servers are debian servers I would much prefer to have it
packaged as a deb.  I will be using the webware 0.8 on woody servers.

There was a thread on this earlier on, but no-one owned up to having
actually made any debs.  I will go ahead and make my own, but I was just
wondering if anyone had done this already.

I understand that to do it "properly" one would want to follow things such
as the FHS and debian policy.  However, if I do it myself, my goal will
be to get a working deb as quickly as possible, not to make a package
acceptable to debian.

Therefore I'll probably just dump the tarball in /usr/lib/Webware,
install the init script, and arrange to have some basic setup (setup.py,
from memory?) run in the postinst script.   Also put wkcgi in
/usr/lib/cgi-bin.

On the other hand, if anyone is preparing packages with a view to
getting them included in debian, I'd be happy to help out with testing
them.
