Closes#11 and #13. As mentioned in #11, support for Ubuntu should
return in the future, but not explicitly. Rather, the core of A2SERVER
itself ashould be made to run on any OS distribution for which our
requirements are met.
The goal is that any OS-specific details should be part of OS-specific
packaging or handled by the user (editing MOTD/issue files, etc.) We
can handle those details on Debian systems because we know how to do
that when packaging for Debian. Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. packages will have
to make their own tweaks. This commit doesn't do all of that, but it
does mean there's one fewer things we need to worry about during the
transition.
This file really belongs in the A2SERVER root where people looking at
this tree can most easily find it, but for now it's more important to
follow the layout on Ivan's server. Putting it in the root was a
mistake on my part in my initial upload because "of course". Corrected!
Reflowed the scripts (mostly) according to vim's autoindent engine.
Also added vim modelines so that people who are familiar with them can
configure their environment for A2SERVER's conventions. Also removed
trailing whitespace from lines and files while I was at it to make git
happier about various things.
This is perhaps less than ideal, but it should make the scripts work in
any web directory you put the repository into. As such, this should be
considered part of the "initial state" trying to match Ivan's current
non-SCM setup. We can adjust this later if he does something different
on his end.
