Compilation of pure-ftpd-mysql

Asked by Stuart Aylott

Hi

What options would have been used to compile pure-ftpd-mysql for 10.04 LTS server edition (it's showing as pure-ftpd version 1.0.24-1). I'm most interested if the package in the repository supports virtual chroot, but it would be good to know what other options were specified.

Just trying to decide whether to compile it myself, or if I can use the repository version.

Thanks

Compiling your own programs is of high educational value but some times can be a big headache. If you want to learn compile. If you want a production system with security updates and bug fixes use the repository.

I have no answer about how to find the build options. Can a developer enlight us?

Thanks for that

Ideally I would like to use the repository, as it would be easier for others to manage installed software, and as you pointed out (but hadn't occured to me) would also allow for bug fixes and security updates.

I would really still like to know what build options were used though

Your best bet is to contact the Maintainet which in this case is the Ubuntu Developers <email address hidden>

Never heard anything from the developers for this, ended up compiling myself

You need to get pure-ftpd source from repository

sudo apt-get source pure-ftpd

Then you find file in source katalog file rule which have default compiled options

vim pure-ftpd-1.0.24/debian/rule

For package pure-ftpd-1.0.24:

cfgflags=--prefix=/usr --mandir='$${prefix}'/share/man --sysconfdir=/etc/pure-ftpd CFLAGS=-DMAX_USER_LENGTH=128U
optflags=--with-everything --with-largefile --with-pam --with-privsep --with-tls --with-rfc2640

Can you help with this problem?
