Has development on the package already begun? If so, I'm willing to test
and give feedback.

Warm regards,


Tom

Hi I'm also interested. Not that I have much practice with packaging PHP, but I may try to help in other ways.

@陳昌倬, you could start by sharing a repo on salsa.debian.org.

Thanks,

Paolo

I had a look at the package[1] and it doesn't appear ready to use yet.
I made a quick attempt to make it work:

- created /etc/kanboard

- copied config.default.php to /etc/kanboard/config.php

- symlinked /usr/share/kanboard/config.php -> /etc/kanboard/config.php

- created /etc/kanboard/apache.conf:


Alias /kanboard /usr/share/kanboard/
<Directory "/usr/share/kanboard/">
Allow from all
Options -MultiViews
Require all granted
DirectoryIndex index.php
</Directory>

for inclusion into a VirtualHost

- in the config.php, I set DATA_DIR = /var/lib/kanboard

- created the directory:
mkdir -p /var/lib/kanboard/data
chown www-data.www-data /var/lib/kanboard/data

It still doesn't work, this appears in the log:

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required
'/usr/share/kanboard/app/../vendor/autoload.php'
(include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in
/usr/share/kanboard/app/common.php on line 3


Most of the above steps should be done by the package itself. If
anybody has time to help finish the package I'd be happy to install it
on the outreach-lab.debian.net server. The package doesn't need to be
uploaded into Debian, just as long as the necessary changes are in a
clone of the Git repository so I can build the package myself.
Alternatively, maybe somebody can check with other teams using Kanboard
to see if they have packaged it in another repository or something.

Regards,

Daniel
