Comment # 38 on bug 4393 from Andrew Bauer

ZoneMinder uses the CakePHP project as the framework for ZoneMinder's API.
We've also added the Crud project as a plugin to the CakePHP framework. Crud is
configured as a git submodule in the ZoneMinder project.

All of the issues you have mentioned are under the
/usr/share/zoneminder/www/api folder and are either part of the CakePHP source
code, or they are part of the Crud plugin found here
/usr/share/zoneminder/www/api/app/Plugin/Crud/. 

> - 'htaccess-file'

There are five .htaccess files in the zoneminder api/cakephp folder structure.
I had previously considered migrating these to the central zoneminder apache
config file, but the amount of work to benefit ratio seemed small. I'll look
into it.

> - wrong-script-interpreter
I'll use find/sed to fix this from the specfile.

> - non-executable-script (.php files)
This is not causing the ZoneMinder API to malfunction, and I'm not even sure
the files in question are even used. Perhaps I can just delete them.
Will look into this. I wonder though, if I set the executable flag, will
rpmlint then complain about executable scripts outside the bin folder?

>- hidden-file-or-dir
All but one of the hidden files are caused by multiple copes of the file
.editorconfig. I'm already deleting several other hidden files from the
specfile. I'll add .editorconfig to the list since it is not needed during
runtime.

One hidden file .semver contains the version of the Crud plugin. While deleting
that file won't cause any runtime issues, it would be nice to keep it around
for reference.

>- W: pem-certificate
If I move cacert.pem to /etc/pki/zoneminder/, can I then symlink it back to the
spot CakePHP expects the file to be in?


Do you know of any other packages which use CakePHP? It would be interesting to
see exactly how other packages have managed through these rpmlint issues. I
just hate reinventing the wheel.
