Hi everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm pleased to say that I've just committed an ebuild for webapp-config v1.0 |
| 4 |
into Portage. It should be showing up on the rsync mirrors in about an hour |
| 5 |
or so. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
webapp-config is the first tool to be delivered from GLEP 11 - our design for |
| 8 |
how Gentoo is going to support virtual hosting for web servers. You can read |
| 9 |
more about GLEP 11 at http://glep.gentoo.org/, and from the article published |
| 10 |
in the December 2003 edition of php|architect at http://www.phparch.com/. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
This version of webapp-config supports installs, cleans, and updates, and is |
| 13 |
ready for a wider audience. The ebuild installs an example phpmyadmin ebuild |
| 14 |
into /usr/doc/webapp-config to show you how to write your own ebuild. If |
| 15 |
you're the maintainer of an ebuild for a web-based app, please have a go at |
| 16 |
converting your ebuild, and let me know how you get on. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Please log all bugs to bug id #30607. Don't email me about bugs - our |
| 19 |
satelite link from the php|cruise ship makes getting at my email a bit |
| 20 |
painful. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Next step for me is going to be putting some developer documentation together |
| 23 |
on how to write ebuilds for webapp-config, and a separate user doc explaining |
| 24 |
how to use the webapp-config tool to install & maintain your web-based |
| 25 |
applications. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
This release supports the Apache 1 & Apache 2 web servers. I'm keen for |
| 28 |
someone to add support for Cherokee and the other web servers that Gentoo |
| 29 |
supports. Hopefully (fingers crossed), it should be easy enough to do. Just |
| 30 |
take a look at /usr/lib/webapp-config/servers/ to get started. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Best regards, |
| 33 |
