Hello,
I'm offering my help for creating rpm files of phpMyAdmin for Mitel SME server. I made them already, but suddenly came up with the idea to ask you about it. Current version (made with phpMyAdmin 2.4.0) doesn't need configuration afterward, although every server has its own IP adres. So even a dummy can install it :) What do you think, should I continue and join this project?

RPM's would be nice to have, sure :) But with so many different distributions, where should PMA be installed by default ? Maybe it would be good to have a look at the current (already exisiting) PhpMyAdmin rpm's on the CD's of SuSE, redhat, etc. to get an idea.
regards, Olivier

I agree that pre-made installs are nice to have in many cases.

It's always been a subdirectory under the htdocs dir.

In the Gentoo ebuilds, it's /home/httpd/html/phpMyAdmin/

voila, and SuSE is /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/, debian and RH probaly somewhere else: the question is: do we really want to create 10 different RPM/DEB files on every release? :)

We certainly don't want to have to make them by hand, but if it were automatic for us to create, I'm sure the userbase wouldn't mind...
I've really been thinking that the current release script could be improved (including automatic uploading).

I have just gone through all of the five CDs of the Red Hat 8.0 distribution. I have not been able to find a phpMyAdmin-RPM there, but nevertheless I know that anaconda (the RH installer) offers phpMyAdmin in the package list. I also searched for phpMyAdmin in Red Hat's RPM database - without any result.
I can only guess that anaconda determines the directory automatically and that's the way to go - imho.

Don't forget the MSI packages for the Windows users like me!

Installing phpMyAdmin is more than easy, you just have to type that one command line that is mentioned in our documentation. And I can't believe that linux users are afraid of command lines... If you needed to compile the source, I'd agree, but it's just uncompressing!

I had some thoughts about the release script. The thing that bothers me most about it is that too much rubbish is included. What I'd like to change is:
1) Use "extract" instead of "checkout" for pulling out the source from CVS. A normal user does not need the CVS directories at all and inside the .php distribution they are just senseless! Someone who needs them is always welcome to use the CVS server.
2) Some files are not necessary for the every-day-usage of phpMyAdmin, only for the development. So I'd like to make the script remove the following files after recieving the source: - .cvsignore - lang/add_message.sh - lang/add_message_file.sh - lang/check_lang.sh - lang/remove_message.sh - lang/sort_lang.sh - scripts/check_lang.php3 - scripts/create-release.sh - scripts/remove_control_m.sh

No SuSE uses /svr/www (or something like this).

deb could be just one, but it's already in Debian so there is no need to create other one, with RPMs it's a bit problematic, we would need at least for suse (united linux), redhat and mandrake as these are probably the most used rpm based distros... Unfortunately FHS is not clear about placing http server files so each distro places this somewhere else... I thing that tarball is enough for this type of software...

it probably depends of the version: on an sparc64 suse 7.3 is it in /home/httpd/html/phpMyAdmin/...

Yes, versions from 8.0 use /svr for all server data (http, ftp,...)
