What release of Debian are you using? Stable (squeeze) or Testing (wheezy)?
I'm running Debian Testing and the Cherokee 1.2 packages from unstable
(Sid) and everything seems to be working fine. It's possible that the
dependencies in stable are too old for Cherokee 1.2, but I'm not too sure.

Testing is still stable enough for a server, I've been running it for years
with no issues. If this is a new server you're trying out Cherokee on, you
could try upgrading to Debian testing, which should give you some newer
packages. You can do that by editing /etc/apt/sources.list and changing all
instances of "stable" to "testing". Then do "apt-get update && apt-get
dist-upgrade".

Remove the package libcherokee-mod-admin and install cherokee-admin from
testing

By the way, does anybody knows why debian repository has 1.2.101 packages
for all architectures except i386?

Best regards,
Dmitry Yurchenko

Hi guys,

I'm currently using Squeeze stable. I'll give testing a go. Thanks.

Hi,

Cherokee is failing its test suite for several architectures since
1.2.100 IIRC:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=cherokee

Of course, I could build the package skipping the test suite, or
partial results of it, but that would probably lead to broken
functionality.

I have reported this to the Cherokee BTS. I am unable to debug/fix
this problem (and that's one of the reasons I feel a new maintainer is
needed for Cherokee in Debian). Hopefully, this can be fixed in the
next release - but as of today, I cannot offer you a solution.

Just adding to what others have said - Using testing on a server is
not a good idea. Testing is the last suite to receive security
updates, and at some points in time (specially when preparing
complicated transitions, or with long-standing critical bugs) some
packages are (temporarily or permanently) kicked from testing.

In fact, currently Cherokee is not in testing, given that it has
critical bugs (cannot build on several platforms) for a long time.

The recommended route if you need an updated Cherokee in a Debian
server would be to use a backport - A Debian developer or maintainer
can build the updated packages and upload them regularly to
backports.debian.org.

I can do the backport what's the road to upload to backports.debian.org ?

The best way would be to become a DD, of course. But if not, you can
make your packages available and request for a sponsor:

http://backports-master.debian.org/Contribute/#index3h3

I believe the problem is related to how IPv4/IPv6 hostnames were
resolved. The compilation logs show how the QA bench failed when it
tried to run the first SCGI related test (where "localhost" had to be
resolved).

This bug is now fixed in the 'dev' branch. Hopefully Cherokee 1.0.102
will compile fine on Debian systems.

I read the message you sent asking for someone to take over the package.
It is a shame, I must say. You have been an outstanding Debian
maintainer for the project. Actually, the kind of maintainer that has
even influenced the project in many aspects.

Thank you very much for the great job you have done! I owe you a
Michelada ;)

Great news! Can you point me to a commit I could patch .101 with that
addresses this? Or should I wait for 102? (approximate timeframe?)

Well.. For you this is surely no surprise, as I've been mentioning it
privately for a very long time. I do not feel I can do a good job at
maintaining it, as I'm not only not really familiar with the code
(except on how to build it), but I cannot commit to patch the bugs
that appear... And that disqualifies me as the proper maintainer. And
I have been too busy with other stuff.

So, I'll very happily take the michelada, as long as we meet in
person, which is always fun! (Oh, and please note: I don't think
anybody expects Wheezy to be done in less than a year, so... I'm still
here for some time :) )
