as you obviously figured the replicated package manager behaviour is |
21 |
for installing apps into multiple vhosts. at first i thought this was |
22 |
a nice idea, but after some time managing webapps with w-c, i really |
23 |
hate it and install most things manually nowadays ;-) |

i am in favour of debian-like approach too, but i think there are |
34 |
people relying on the w-c approach now, so an optimal solution would |
35 |
be to just make webapp-config optional, but this may be an impossible |
36 |
task, i don't really know. |
