tags 553496 + patch
thanks
Hello,
the following debdiff output would produce an NMU packaging
'doc-central_1.8.2+nmu3'. It would resolve the RC-bug positively.
Observe that the corresponding package will not be uploaded
by me, but I seek the cooperation with the maintainer instead.
My method is to inform and ask the system Administrator to manually
create a soft link in order to activate full webserver support.
Uwe Hermann, the maintainer of 'info2www', on which this package
directly depends, he used the same kind of solution in 2008, so I
more or less mapped my solution and text on his excellent model.
Kind regards,
Mats Erik Andersson

+doc-central as of 1.8.2+nmu3
+----------------------------
+
+ Doc-central is no longer allowed to automatically set up web content
+ for a server, since the location of such cannot be reliably predicted
+ and are thus prohibited by FHS. The simple solution is to manually
+ create a file link:
+
+ ln -s /var/lib/doc-central /path-to-content/dc
+
+ if you decide to let "http://localhost/dc/"; be your location.
+ For example, Apache2 often uses '/var/www/' for the web root.
+
+ The directory '/var/lib/doc-central/' only contains two html-files,
+ One of these, in itself, contains an anchor "http://localhost/cgi-bin/...";
+ so the webserver must be configured to fetch these CGI-scripts from
+ the standard directory '/usr/lib/cgi-bin/'.
