Cannot read file /webim/install/package

[greatwitenorth]

When triying to install I get an error saying:
Cannot read file /webim/install/package

There is no folder in the install directory called 'package'. I'm not sure what it's looking for. I've created the database and put the details in the config file.

You need to download the version from sourceforge, I tried downloading the master version from github and it didn't have that file.

Actually I just created an empty package folder in the install folder and everything worked just fine.

The "package" file is a list of all the files in the project and their (optional) hashes. Get the project from sourceforge and you're done.

I would like to know how to generate this myself, though. Installers are not very practical for someone who is playing around with the code. I assume there is a command to do this somewhere in the code base, but I couldn't find it.

Try to look at src/messenger/compute_resources.pl script. One of its aims is creating "package" file.
