@Daniel: It is in the unstable and the testing distributions so you have to add the following to your sources.list:

deb url_of_your_debian_mirror testing main

resp.

deb url_of_your_debian_mirror unstable main

(Okay, I’ve uploaded new versions of the packages – might have to wait for your mirror to pick them up.)

They are there because the app/ folder is used as a skeleton directory for the bake.php script, and I didn’t want to make the cakephp binary package bigger just by including it. Does that seem sensible?

@Lamby: Thanks for creating those packages! What’s the reason the app folder is in cakephp-scripts and not in the cakephp package?

Hi, Lamby here. Yes, I submitted these to Debian about a month ago hence the older version. I’ll be preparing an update this evening with the latest release.

If anyone is interested in the reason for splitting the packages – this is due to the scripts dependency on the CLI versions of PHP which most people wouldn’t want to install.

I would package the documentation, but I have not received a reply with regard to the license. Hopefully this can be resolved soon.

Anyway, I enjoy reading your posts, please keep up this high-quality work. :)
