The scenario that interests me is where you have multiple sites hosted on a |
| 8 |
single box. This requires support for installing multiple copies of the same |
| 9 |
application (which is what webapp-config does for us) - and each of these |
| 10 |
copies needs to use a different database and/or different table names. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
At the moment, we deal with this by having pkg_postinst() output instructions |
| 13 |
as to how to setup the database by hand. If the ebuild knew which database |
| 14 |
to manipulate, we'd be one step closer to automating this process. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
In this scenario, ideas like adding new variables to make.conf simply do not |
| 17 |
scale. What we'll probably end up doing is making it possible to query a |
| 18 |
per-vhost set of configuration values through the vhost-config tool, and |
| 19 |
providing a static default for desktop/single-host servers. |
