[gentoo-dev] GLEP #11: webapp-config 1.1 in Portage and marked stable

Hiya,

Just a quick note to say that we're now ready to start moving ebuilds across 
to the new webapp.eclass approach.

I've committed a new, improved webapp-config v1.1, which includes man pages 
for the eclass, config file and admin utility.  I'm sure the docs can be 
improved on, but we now have the basics covered.

What I need now are devs to try using the new eclass and users to try using 
the new webapp-config tool, please ;-)  I'm also desperate for volunteers to 
help improve the documentation.  A Gentoo Guide to virtual hosting would be 
great ;-)

Best regards,
Stu

I've just given webapp-config a whirl with squirrelmail-1.4.2-r5.  Most
of what I have to say is: "good job!".

A couple of questions:
Is there any reason to insist that apps get installed in
whatever/htdocs?  I notice that VHOST_ROOT doesn't include the htdocs
part--could it, so that users can change (or remove) it?

And specific to squirrelmail: the data directory needs to be owned by
apache (not root).  I don't know if this is a fault of webapp-config or
the squirrelmail ebuild.

Why would you want to remove the htdocs directory?

VHOST_ROOT doesn't include the htdocs part, because ebuilds can install files 
to live above the htdocs directory.  

If you really want to change how this works, you can edit the variables 
further down /etc/vhosts/webapp-config.

Which version of webapp-config are you using?

Best regards,
Stu

Simply because I had apache (mis)configured to serve straight from the
vhost directory, not from htdocs.

I see.  Again, I think this comes from me running a somewhat notstandard
(probably stupid) vhost layout.
