Add "provides httpd" in debian/ubuntu packages

I just found that upgrading packages such as mythweb or others that depends
on "httpd" virtual package do not find cherokee as part of that package, so
they force me to install apache as default, or by using aptitude, it offers
to downgrade to the default distribution version.

How can I avoid installing apache while preserving those packages?

Is there any way to add cherokee from ppa to that virtual package?

More info about virtual packages.

I found out the package from ppa "provides: web, web-cgi" while the original
from ubuntu repositories "provides: httpd, httpd-cgi".

Is hits as it should be or it is a misconfiguration?

I am so sorry this is the third, I found the virtual package list to comply
to debian policy and it says in the network section to reference to httpd,
so I think maybe the ppa packages should change "section" and "provides" to
httpd and httpd, httpd-cgi respectively?

Thanks for your patience!

For Jaunty and before versions, lintian and Launchpad rejected the
packages because there was no httpd section, that's why was changed to the
web section

Seems that with karmic we got httpd section.

The package forks start to show, it's gonna be fun every cherokee
release..
karmic in httpd section and with upstart scripts ...

Thank you for your report.

Saludos

Leonel

The PPA archives Leonel builds are based on the same tree than the
official Debian packages, and they do provide httpd:

$ apt-cache show cherokee|grep Provides
Provides: httpd, httpd-cgi

And as for the latest specific package, I just uploaded it to Debian
based on what Leonel did:

$ dpkg -I cherokee_0.99.27-1_amd64.deb |grep Provides
Provides: httpd, httpd-cgi

Oh, that explains :-) I thought you were uploading from the same tree
I was.

Don't confuse things: The 'Provides' control field is in no way
related to sections, but to virtual packages.

Lets keep the forks as small as they should :-) Regarding the upstart
scripts, they should work the same - After all, the init script only
needs to provide the start/stop/restart/status functionality, it is
only what triggers the invocation that chages. In fact, Debian has
already switched to a (different) dependency-based initialization
system, and I have done the minor modifications that were needed¹.

So fear not - We do not have to face a fork. After all, upstart is
also part of Debian. Not the default system, but part of the available
systems.

I don't want forks but for what I've known for Lucid Lynx (10.04) ( should
be named Lucky Leonel :)) upstart will be used on all programs but still
need to see how things get by then.

Of course — What I mean is that we package maintainers have to ensure
our init scripts work with either initialization style. There is
nothing wrong in providing init scripts that provide the needed
metadata to work both with upstart and with sysv (and with filerc and
with runit and with many other init schemes there are available for
many years already).

After all, the only thing upstart needs is metainformation: What event
should trigger a 'cherokee start'? what event should trigger a
'cherokee stop'? What events do they trigger?

The interface for the initialization script should be the same, we are
only adding information to it.
