It is probably very rough +around the edges, feel free to ask for clarifications so we can improve it. + +This guide assumes you are working on a Debian etch system. If that is not the +case, you might have to adjust some of the steps. + +1) Install git (package git-core). You will get a much more pleasant user + experience if you use a version from backports.org or a self-compiled one + instead of etch's version. +2) Download the code from git://source.djpig.de/git/packages.git + (Something like `git clone git://source.djpig.de/git/packages.git') +3) Install the needed dependencies. A list can be found in cron.d/050checkinst. + One dependency can't be fulfilled directly from etch and is therefor not listed + there: the Search::Xapian perl module. You can either compile that yourself against + libxapian from etch, backport all of xapian and libsearch-xapian-perl from + lenny, or install the 0.9.9-1 deb from snapshots.debian.net. +4) Install apache2 (apache2-mpm-worker) and mod_perl (libapache2-mod-perl2) +5) Adjust the configuration to your needs. You should at least edit the following + files before starting to test: + - ./config.sh.sed.in + - ./templates/config.tmpl + - ./templates/config/* + - ./conf/apache.conf.sed.in +6) run `./bin/setup-site ' + (e.g. `./bin/setup-site /org/packages.debian.org packages.debian.org') +7) create a cache directory for the compiled templates, it needs to be writable by + apache (i.e. on default etch by www-data). Default location is + /cache +7) Include ./conf/apache.conf in apache's configuration, e.g. by symlinking it from + /etc/apache2/sites-available/ and then using a2ensite +8) Run ./bin/daily
