Bug#472802: Some remaining package issues

Hello all,

The package seems to be almost there. I have encountered a
few issues.

First of all, the mergeWithUpstream property doesn't seem to be set
on svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/collab-mai...unk/debian
It took me some time before I realised why it was constantly complaining
about the source.

Secondly, there are some lintian errors left:

W: limesurvey source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-arch
W: limesurvey source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-indep
W: limesurvey source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.9.1 (current is 3.9.2)
W: limesurvey: duplicate-changelog-files usr/share/doc/limesurvey/changelog.gz usr/share/doc/limesurvey/release_notes.txt.gz

But they should not be hard to solve.

Thirdly, PostgreSQL-support. There, I encountered a few issues that may
well be due to dbconfig. So, the setup script
/usr/share/limesurvey/admin/install.done/cmd_install.php fails. It
cannot connect to the database create.
I think it is because common.php, included by the setup script tries to
connect to the database, while this doesn't exist yet. When I go via:

$ sudo -u postgres psql
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE limesurvey;

The script suddenly works!
After this, I can reach the site, i.e. /limesurvey/admin.php, but am
not able to login with admin/password. However, this seems to be an
already reported issue: http://bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?idU86 .
I'll just have to wait for reactions. Or is anyone else here using
it succesfully with PostgreSQL.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi,

a customer of us is interested in having proper limesurvey packages in
Debian, so I spent some effort on the collab-maint repo last month.
Sorry for the massive Cc list, but I wasn't really sure who is going
to be Maintainer/Uploader. I will be able to spend some time on the
package and do uploads, but I won't be the primary Maintainer. So if
someone needs sponsoring, please ask me.

I haven't really looked closer, but the embedded libraries look like
they should (could?) be removed, so I'd propose to go for an
experimental upload until this has been resolved (or deemed
infeasible).

I noticed similar problems, I eventually managed to get it running,
but didn't try to debug the scripts. (We have a running database and
just need updated packages so this is not a problem here.)

After this, I can reach the site, i.e. /limesurvey/admin.php, but am
not able to login with admin/password. However, this seems to be an
already reported issue: http://bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=5586 .

Same here in my local tests.

Same here, so again, sorry for the massive Cc-list.
I also have a customer that is using it, so I used the current
build. I will commit my fix to collab-maint, if I can find it ;)

package and do uploads, but I won't be the primary Maintainer. So if

I have little time to work on it, but can help with sponsoring as well.

Cheers,
Paul
