[Sks-devel] SKS 1.1.3 for Debian

[Jens Leinenbach]

Hi,

I compiled SKS 1.1.3. for Debian, but I have a lot of trouble with
directories.
SKS seems to set all the files based on the directory configured in the
basedir variable.
And a basedir of "." didn't work for me.

So I changed these variables in settings.ml:

let basedir = ref "/var/lib/sks"

let base_dbdir = "/var/lib/sks/DB"
let base_ptree_dbdir = "/var/lib/sks/PTree"
let base_membership_file = "/etc/sks/membership"
let base_mailsync_file = "/etc/sks/mailsync"
let base_dumpdir = "/var/lib/sks/dump"
let base_msgdir = "/var/spool/sks/messages"
let base_failed_msgdir = "/var/spool/sks/failed_messages"
                                                                               

let dbdir = lazy ( base_dbdir )
let ptree_dbdir = lazy ( base_ptree_dbdir )
let membership_file = lazy ( base_membership_file )
let mailsync_file = lazy ( base_mailsync_file )
let dumpdir = lazy ( base_dumpdir )
let msgdir = lazy ( base_msgdir )
let failed_msgdir = lazy ( base_failed_msgdir )


But this solves only a part of the directory trouble as I would have to
change other directories in other files, too.
At least for Debian, the logfiles should be in /var/log/sks, sksconf in
/etc/sks, the diff-files should be in /var/spool/sks.

With the changes of above, all those directories I didn't change are
still in the basedir....

What am I doing wrong or are the directory settings really spread all
over those files?
Can't we just move all these directory settings centralized to sksconf
or at least to Makefile.local(.unused)?


Cheers
