Package: mathtex

The mathtex package includes only /usr/bin/mathtex.
But mathtex is intended to be run as a CGI script,
and merely linking to /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mathtex.cgi
is not working at all (many permissions problems on directories).
Please extend the package, or better, create a new package based
on the same source package, so that mathtex can be used
as a CGI script...
mathtex is currently mainly maintained for a pidgin package. I haven't
used CGI in a long time so please be prepared to elaborate. I see that
/usr/lib/cgi-bin is the debian default for cgi, but it is on the other
hand not on any PATH which other packages might prefer. looking at
apache default,
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
it seems a symlink would be sufficient. would you be have with a symlink
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/mathtex.cgi
?
