    now you can start to see why I dislike apt and debian in general - these
    package convetions are just a pain in the ass

    not really.

    in the best case, the only thing you'd need to do is to re-create the
    packages on all target platforms (debian, ubuntu, whatever), using the
    very same control file.

    if the same control file can't be worked out (I don't see why though),
    then there's only a need to have a seperate set of them for each distro.
    but that's not a different branch either - we'd just have a set of
    debian direcotries under livesupport/etc for debian, ubuntu, etc.

    PS: we could move this discussion to the dev list, maybe some debian /
    ubuntu ethusiasts would come to help..

    The reason that one control file will not sadisfy different needs for ubuntu and sarge seems this:

    for debian we need to have Postgresql listed in control file, but no Postgresql-7.4 is available
    For ubuntu we need to have Postgresql-7.4 listed, because Postgresql is just database managment package, not including database server. Ask the ubuntu guys why they make things other then common way.

    To sadisfy booth tryed to use following entrys in control file:

    Package: livesupport-station
    Architecture: any
    Pre-Depends: php5-cli | php4-cli,
    postgresql-7.4 | postgresql (>= 7.4),
    postgresql-client (>=7.4)
    Depends: ${shlibs:Depends},
    livesupport-libs (>= ${dpkg:Version}),
    sed,
    odbc-postgresql,
    apache | apache2,
    php4,
    php4-domxml,
    php4-pear,
    php5-pgsql | php4-pgsql,
    libapache-mod-php4 | libapache2-mod-php4 | php5


    I would read it this way:
    postgresql-7.4 is pre-required, so it will installed and configured if available (-> Ubuntu)
    Elsewhere just postgresql (->Sarge). But it seems working this way:
    postgresql is installed completly (-> booth distros), which requires postgresql-7.4 (on ubuntu), but this dependency is configured in Postgresql's control file and seems not Pre-Depends.

    Anyway, it is defnitly not configured at the moment postInstallStation.sh want to change the config files.

    ok, then we might need two sets of control files, so we might want to
    split the etc/debian directory into etc/debian/debian and
    /etc/debian/ubuntu . then in bin/createDebianPackages.sh , we have to
    chose which one to include in the final, debianized form.

    Seems like you are out of disk space. No amount of fiddling with the
    control file is going to fix that. Smile
