Re: [Cppcms-users] Debian packaging for CppCMS

[Artyom <art...@ya...>]

Hello,

First of all this is great contribution!

Few notes or issues I had found in this configuration:

1. I would recommend include by default the recommended dependencies:

   a) ICU - is very important part of the library.
   b) Gcrypt or OpenSSL - I'd recommended gcrypt as it has GPL compatible 
license (unlike OpenSSL)

   There are should be included in default builds as they provide very valuable 
features.

2. May be I do not understand but according to the files it seems to me not 
include:

   a) cppcms_tmpl_cc - templates compiler
   b) cppcms_run - the script for running cppcms applications with different web 
servers easily
   
   I think they both should be either in libcppcms1-dev or in the some package 
like cppcms1-tools

3. I don't know what is the policy of Debian, but wouldn't it be better to have 
libbooster and libcppcms
   as separate packages as, libbooster is very useful outside scope of CppCMS 
and can be seen as
   ABI stable boost subset.

   But this is rather minor and optional thing.


Thank you once again.
Do you want debian build files to be included in the
official SVN distribution.

One additional notice, CppCMS is officially beta version and its ABI is not 
stabilized, however
I do not update SOVERSION as I expect that first official - non-beta release 
would have
SOVERSION 1.
