[Typo3-debian] typo3 in official debian tree?

[Christian Jul Jensen]

Hi

I just spent the weekend installing my first debian. It's amazing how
good this works.

I'm a believer!

In my opinion the updating of the TYPO3-src itself works very easy,
simply download the tarball, unpack it and, change the symlink. Maybe
fire up the install tool to check database integrity, which you have to
do even if the source was provided as a debian package.

The main problem of getting TYPO3 running is the environment, especially
the graphic things. So, I think that if a TYPO3_env deb package would
get into the tree, that would be an advantage.

The installation/upgrading of the source is the minor part of it, as I
see it. It is after all only scripts.
