[Ids-devel] Update to RPM packaging

[Piet B. <pie...@ya...>]

I discovered a few minor problems with the package I created last night: I have
released a new RPM and SRPM to fix those issues I discovered with my package. 

- I fixed a bug for IDS under the Image::Magick version that comes with RedHat
8.0
The bug in question comes about in the idsShared.pm module, line 642 -- The
$scaledOverlay reference never gets the image read in for the previewicon.png
file. So I just slapped in a Image::Magick->Read command in there to keep it
from giving this error:
    index.cgi Exception 410: Reference is not my type (Image::Magick) at
../idsShared.pm line 643., referrer....

- The /usr/share/ids directory wasn't owned by 'apache:apache', so when you
made any configuration changes, the temporary file wouldn't get written.  It
kind of sucks that temporary files get written to the ids-root directory and
need write access from apache. 
- The /etc/http/conf.d/ids-httpd.conf file didn't have a "DirectoryIndex
index.cgi" entry; so index.cgi would never get read if the site wasn't set up
to handle .cgi scripts. 
- The logs directory lacked an .htaccess file saying it was OK for Directory
listing (+Indexes)


Please note that there are only two things that must be done after installing
the RPMS: 
 1) restart the web server: /sbin/service httpd restart
 2) htpasswd /usr/share/ids/admin/.htpasswd admin "your new password"


The new RPMS are "ids-0.82-1" at:
