Interchange Debian Packages =========================== This document contains information about the Interchange Debian packages. Feedback -------- Please send your comments and bug reports to Stefan Hornburg (Racke) . He is the Interchange core developer responsible for the Interchange Debian packages. APT Sources =========== Interchange Debian packages for unstable (sid) are part of the official Debian distribution. There are no official packages for stable (etch), oldstable (sarge) or testing (lenny). Up-to-date Interchange Debian packages for stable are available from: deb http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/interchange/debian interchange main deb-src http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/interchange/debian interchange main Debian Specific Changes ======================= * all catalog configuration should we put into catalogs.cfg, so that /etc/interchange/interchange.cfg can upgraded easily * any global usertags used locally should go into /etc/interchange/usertag and they'll be included if they have the extension .tag Standard Demo =============== For the administration of the standard demo (interchange-cat-standard package) a secure webserver (https://) is required. Other Notes =========== * if you want to call interchange directly for catalog addition, removal, reconfiguration or other command line tasks, you need to use the wrapper script /usr/sbin/interchange either as root or as interchange user, e.g. /usr/sbin/interchange --reconfig=standard. * if the selected Interchange user (default: interchange, may be changed through debconf) doesn't exists at installation time, it will created. Due to security reasons the shell for this user will be set to /bin/false and the password for this user will be disabled. Use su -s /bin/sh if you need to become the Interchange user. CVS === You can build Debian packages directly from CVS with the following commmand: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us
