In the latest lighttpd-1.4.8 release, they removed the debian/ support (from the changelog): removed debian/ dir from source package on request by packager
Sad :( For me i solved the problem with copying the directory from the old 1.4.7 release and fixing the changelog file. If you need better support, use bougyman’s repository. In your debian or ubuntu /etc/apt/sources.list add:deb http://debian.bougyman.com/ unstable main
Bougyman is a very interesting person. He is working for some US goverment organization and supporting a huge Ruby On Rails system (something like a paperless office) – PostgreSQL, linux virtual server powered FastCGI listeners etc. I learned a lot from him about using RoR in production environments. Thanks. Recently I found his typo blog – All-Purpose Log for Rubyists , full with useful information. Just to mention:
- Rails-Editor gem — pure man Locomotive for Linux :) producing screen based console IDE
- spawn-fcgi in the foreground!—we are using that approach too to start/stop dispatch.fcgi listeners independently from the frontend web server (lighttpd)
