[Typo3-debian] Integration of Typo3-Packages into the Debian main archive

[Michael Stucki]

Hello Christian,

well, you did some really great work!

(Folks, I do know this was a huge job. It's really great!)

This seems to be the former typo3-env package. Looks right.

Houston, problem!
It makes absolutely no sense to split these packages! Please merge them
again, even a finished page cannot be run without the backend part
(typo3/...) of the package.

Well, is this package usable? Shouldn't this be accomplished by the
site-installer? I though so...

I'll look at it later.

Well, I still miss some features (see other mails mentioned by Ingmar [1]).
Most notably it should be possible to co-install a version of each branch
(typo3_3-6, typo3_3-7, etc.).

This does really make sense, see my previous message on this topic [2].

I did start exactly the same way! :-)

One important note: Please start (or try) to consequently write TYPO3 in
upper-case as we do it everywhere (except in URLs or in the Debian package
name).

Currently, it's fine here because all TYPO3-on-Debian users are subscribed
to this list already...

As stated, I'd like to see this as a separate project which does not depend
on Debian, but of course we should provide a package for it!

I don't think they make sense.

Yep!

Yes. But there are some changes made by Kasper, so I don't know if it's easy
to integrate a standard PhpMyAdmin into TYPO3.

> - any other thinks?

I think it's enough to start with... ;-)

Keep up the great work!
