I'm not |really ready to go public with the resulting patch and ebuild but I |suppose this might be a good time to ask a few questions that come into |my head. | |1) I am currently using the directory /opt/webmin as an installation |dir. I appreciate that Gentoo wants to keep /opt for binaries only, and |that webmin does not technically qualify as a binary distribution, but I |think it comes damn close. Does anyone agree/disagree with this view, |and if you disagree, where should webmin go? /opt is a good choice, but i think that it can be best /var |2) SSL. Perl doesn't pay any attention to the ssl use flag as far as I |am aware, so my strategy has been to have Perl grab the SSL module from |CPAN if the use var is set, and then configure webmin with support for |same. Again, comments? Suggestions? well if you can use the USE variable cool :) |3) What distribution should be chosen as a close approximation of |Gentoo. I choose Redhat 7.2 as my first guess, and then later upgraded |to .3 and I haven't noticed anything obviously broken, but extensive |testing would be required before I'd let this anywhere near portage. |Suggestions? Volunteers for testing? :) i thinks that debian, slackware, o inclusive freebsd are more exact that redhat |4) I presumed that Webmin should not automatically be started on boot, |that stuff should be handled by the user and whatever their preference |of inetd or xinetd is, is this the correct approach? you can do a simple script to do it |5) License. Webmin uses a strange one, but not one that is restrictive. |I presume it is OK just to add an entry in Gentoo's Lisencing dir |specifically for Webmin and its kin. yes, it can be usefull for others webmin products, like usermin. when you finish with webmin, can be interesting adapt too usermin :) contact with Maciek , he wants to help :) José Alberto Suárez López -- http://www.gentoo.org http://www.adala.org http://bass.dnsalias.com http://gimp.es.gnome.org --=.aELr6fBJiz0g76 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE8/dO/j3g6jpeP9YIRAn/XAJwPt5qcmoe2wp2Es3LoHtDYuyFt+wCeJ1ho BE86PEUvLyXg2DSo5LXXweg= =dl5l -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=.aELr6fBJiz0g76--
