Package: eruby
Version: 1.0.5-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

The eruby package is not well integrated with the rest of the system.
The user still needs to perform a lot of manual work to get it running
for the common use case of embedding Ruby into HTML pages.

I suggest to add a file /etc/apache2/conf.d/eruby with the following
contents:

  AddType application/x-httpd-eruby .rhtml
  Action application/x-httpd-eruby /cgi-bin/eruby
  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/eruby /usr/bin/eruby

As well as integration for other web servers once there is a demand.

The file could be placed in /usr/share/doc/eruby/examples with a hint
in README.Debian at the very minimum. Although I'd say that putting it
into the Apache dir even without a dependency on Apache wouldn't be too
intrusive.

P.S. The report was written on a Kubuntu system but its reportbug doesn't work 
and the bug equally applies to all Debian versions listed on p.d.o.
