Hi mate, Thanks for that! Sorry I couldn't answer you earlier but I was waiting for the subversion package to enter amd64 testing feed to do the test.
To test migration path I installed viewcvs first and then your viewvc latest snapshot (13/08). Apart from the /etc/apache2/conf.d/viewcvs script that is not changed, and a couple of Spanish messages :o) the upgrade went smoothly. I added "ScriptAlias /viewvc /usr/lib/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi" in one of my Apache's Vhost configuration to make it running (same configuration that on my current server). The package is working fine except that I had a couple of issue to deal with before it works, so I am reporting them in case it shouldn't be this way. After configuring my viewvc.conf I got following error when going to https://myurl/viewvc An Exception Has Occurred Python Traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/viewvc/viewvc.py", line 3595, in main request.run_viewvc() File "/usr/lib/viewvc/viewvc.py", line 376, in run_viewvc self.view_func(self) File "/usr/lib/viewvc/viewvc.py", line 1491, in view_roots generate_page(request, "roots", data) File "/usr/lib/viewvc/viewvc.py", line 814, in generate_page template = get_view_template(request.cfg, view_name, request.language) File "/usr/lib/viewvc/viewvc.py", line 808, in get_view_template template = ezt.Template(tname) File "/usr/lib/viewvc/ezt.py", line 293, in __init__ self.parse_file(fname, base_format) File "/usr/lib/viewvc/ezt.py", line 298, in parse_file self.parse(_FileReader(fname), base_format) File "/usr/lib/viewvc/ezt.py", line 686, in __init__ self.text = open(fname, 'rb').read() IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/templates/roots.ezt' I had to link /usr/lib/templates to /etc/viewvc/templates to make it work. I am not sure why ViewVC is going in /usr/lib/templates as the conf file specified that the path is relative to the conf folder... Second issue the doc folder wasn't working out of the box (due to the fact that /etc/apache2/conf.d/viewcvs is not modified. Once pointing to the right folder everything is working. Hope this "installation report" will help you improving the package ! <Columbo mode> Just one more question : </Columbo mode> I'm sure you have your reason, but I'm just curious :op, why did you package 0.9.4 and not the stable 1.0 ? Personally I don't care as this version as all the functionnalities I need : SVN repository browsing and multiple repository selections. Anyway thanks for your good work ! Hope to see it soon in the main feed Cheers Anthony Le mardi 08 août 2006 à 09:06 +0200, David Martínez Moreno a écrit : > El lunes, 31 de julio de 2006 15:31, Anthony Callegaro escribió: > > Hi Ender, > > > > I checked your folder on people.debian.org > > (http://people.debian.org/~ender/) but couldn't find any package.
