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