Hi, I have tried the debian packages for foreman to consider inclusion in Debian.
There is a lot of work to do. First off, the foreman-installer completely overwrites existing apache configuration files, which is contrary to Debian Policy, c. 7.6.1: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s7.6.1 Also, the underlying packages do not seem to cleanup properly after themselves: root@puppet0:/etc# apt-get purge foreman-postgresql foreman foreman-mysql2 Lecture des listes de paquets... Fait Construction de l'arbre des dépendances Lecture des informations d'état... Fait Les paquets suivants ont été installés automatiquement et ne sont plus nécessaires : ruby-ansi ruby-clamp ruby-hashie ruby-kafo ruby-little-plugger ruby-logging ruby-multi-json ruby-powerbar ruby-rdoc Veuillez utiliser « apt-get autoremove » pour les supprimer. Les paquets suivants seront ENLEVÉS : foreman* foreman-mysql2* foreman-postgresql* 0 mis à jour, 0 nouvellement installés, 3 à enlever et 0 non mis à jour. 3 partiellement installés ou enlevés. Après cette opération, 46,5 Mo d'espace disque seront libérés. Souhaitez-vous continuer [O/n] ? (Lecture de la base de données... 46384 fichiers et répertoires déjàinstallés.)

Try running `bundle update rails` Run `bundle install` to install missing gems. ... which basically means it will totally fail to install on wheezy, which still has rails 2.3. There's probably way more stuff i'm missing here. In this condition, it is quite unlikely that foreman can get in debian at all. Having it installable on a simple wheezy environment would be a start. I also strongly encourage you to run the package through "lintian" to make sure it's properly built. Looking forward to see Foreman in Debian... a. -- Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning. - Mahatma Gandhi
