Package: viewcvs Severity: important The ViewCVS package requires that /doc/viewcvs be aliased by Apache to /usr/share/viewcvs, and even attempts to supply a conf.d to achieve this.
However, it is policy (11.5) that /doc/* directories refer to those from /usr/share/doc/* on the local system, and the default apache configuration prevents access to /doc/ from anywhere except the localhost by default. As a result, there are 2 issues: 1. /doc/viewcvs no longer refers to the documentation in /usr/share/doc/viewcvs as per policy for /doc/ 2. clients other than the localhost cannot load any data from /doc/viewcvs, resulting in missing images on pages. These issues should probably be corrected by moving any actual documentation from /usr/share/viewcvs to /usr/share/doc/viewcvs, and only leaving shared data required by the cgi (eg. images?) in /usr/share/viewcvs, which should then be made available using a different alias, such as /viewcvs. Cheers, chris -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.6-ck3 Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
