Bug 51947

Summary: Analog port does not include anlgform.html or anlgform.pl
Product: Ports & Packages Reporter: Chris Pepper <pepper>
Component: Individual Port(s)Assignee: Michael Haro <mharo>

Description Chris Pepper 2003-05-08 03:10:09 UTC 
	The analog (5.24,1) port does not include the form interface (anlgform.html & anlgform.pl). These files are in the tarball, but not installed by the port. They should be installed, probably with the .pl file non-executable (the form interface requires customization anyway).

Fix: 

Add anlgform.* to the list of files to install.
How-To-Repeat: 	Install analog from ports. Look for anlgform.html & anlgform.pl. "pkg_info analog\*|grep anlgform".
	"cd /usr/ports/www/analog && make patch && cd work/analog* && ls -l anlgform*"

From looking at the documentation, major per-site customisation is 
required, so just droppping the files into cgi-bin won't really be 
a solution (but I might be mistaken). Please submit a concrete patch 
if you want us to proceed on this PR. -- Volker

Volker,

	Sorry I didn't pick get back to you. Please let me know if I 
should file a fresh PR.

	I agree the files shouldn't be installed to run, but with the 
current port, the user *cannot* get these files. To use the form, one 
must unpack the source tarball and manually extract the files, so the 
port is less than useful. It would be better to put the form in 
place, and stash the perl script somewhere accessible, so the user 
can configure and install it if desired.

	Here's a suggested sample note to accompany the change:

	Note: Analog includes an optional form and perl script to 
request analyses via a web interface. The form and script both 
require customization before use. If you would like to use them, 
first copy $PREFIX/etc/anlgform.pl to $$CGI-BIN, and then edit 
$$HTDOCS/anlgform.html and $$CGI-BIN/anlgform.pl for your local 
configuration. Both files are extensively commented with instructions 
for customization.

How about installing the two files into ${PREFIX}/share/analog/examples?

	Even better. A note pointing installers there would be 
useful, since they aren't just examples (and I, at least, didn't know 
ports put stuff in $PREFIX/share when I started using FreeBSD).


						Thanks,

The fix was committed by edwin 3 months ago. anlgform.html and 
anlgform.pl are installed in ${EXAMPLESDIR}.
