- Install Debian Lenny packages required by Koha directly with apt-get
rather than with dselect.
- Update documentation about Zebra indexer configuration via
rebuild_zebra.pl rather than zebraqueue_daemon.pl script.
After 2009-08-15, Amazon Web Services will expect that
all requests to the Product Advertising API, which is what
Koha uses for retrieving reviews and other enhanced content
from Amazon, include signatures. This patch and
subsequenct patches implement this functionality.
What this means in practice (assuming the user has elected
to use any enhanced content from Amazon) is that
[1] The user must get a Amazon Secret Access Key. This can
be done by logging in to the user's AWS account
at (e.g.) http://aws.amazon.com/, going to the 'Access Identifiers'
page, and from there retrieving and/or creating a new Secret
Access Key.
[2] The contents of the Secret Access Key should then be
entered into the new AWSPrivateKey system preference.
Once that is done, grabbing reviews and table of contents from Amazon
should work as normal. If the user doesn't do this before 2009-08-15,
reviews and TOCs will no longer be supplied from Amazon, although there
should be no crashes - the content will simply not show up.
Note that the requirement to sign requests does *NOT* appear to apply
to simply displaying book covers from Amazon.

Based on INSTALL.debian. Almost all Perl modules are now available
via Debian packages. MySQL installation is simplified.

MIME::Lite is now a required perl module. The libmime-lite-perl debian package provides it.
Thanks to Zeno Tajoli for pointing out the omission.

For each directory on the list, if an existing file
installed file is different from the version
coming from the new package, it is copied to a backup file
whose name will have the suffix "_koha_<old_version_number>"
or "_upgrade_backup", depending on whether
the --prev-install-log option was used or not
during 'perl Makefile.PL'.
The directories whose files were backed up were
chosen because they contain configuration and
HTML files that a non-programmer Koha user
is likely to change. Consequently, the backup
files produced by 'make upgrade' are not a substitute
for doing a complete backup of one's Koha
installation before upgrading.

This version of DBD::mysql is required in order to have
proper handling of UTF8 strings.
Also bumped version of YAML::Syck down to 0.71 to
match Debian stable package.

When using mysql and a sufficiently recent version
of DBD::mysql that actually respects the mysql_enable_utf8
option, setting the current branch to a name that
includes a diacritic causes the session to fail
and forces the user to the login screen upon
clicking another link.
This turned out to be due to the default (Data::Dumper)
serialization used by CGI::Session, which truncated the
session object at the diacritic. By enabling
that module's YAML serialization option, the problem
was resolved.
This patch introduces a dependency on the YAML::Syck
module.
