Re: Debian packages and Bruce Hohl Install

Hi David;

Currently the thinking is that we don't want to set the system up with
default passwords which would allow anyone a window into accessing the
applicaiton remotely.  Making it "just work" on installation is
unfortunately at odds with that idea.

I think we might be able to do something like add a "first run"
utility that could be used to set up the initial  password from the
server.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers

It should be easy enough and would be very nice to have LedgerSMB
installable the same way as any other package on a debian based system,
eg Ubuntu: by simply clicking on the package, and it just happens. The
post-install scripts in the package run whatever steps are needed to set
the package up, eg as per the list noted by Bruce.

 - All shell and sql scripts need to be rerunnable, eg

   if [ -f "$vFile1" ] ; then touch "$vfile1"
   insert into table ... where (not inserted)
 etc.

The scripts should be a good basis for distros based on other package
managers too.

Its better to get this built than have a mess of bits of scripts and
pseudo script code in a wiki. Look at what a mess the ubuntu and other
wikis are in. That is a very bad way to go in the medium and long term,
even if it looks attractive in the short term.
