[pmwiki-devel] PmWiki Debian package

Hi,

Thanks for your message.

I've looked briefly at the install script, and I have two questions:

Is there a reason to rename the "uploads" directory to "images"?

Do I understand correctly that the script expects the administrator to  
select a directory (or to be in one) which is inside the server's document  
root without verifying this?
