[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#502061: Bug#502061: mapserver: include a package for the mapserver tutorial

[Alan Boudreault]

What do you mean by "couldn't manage to run it like that on a debian 
system" ? What's the problem? As soon as the package mapserver-bin is 
installed, you can simply make a symbolic link in your web cgi-bin 
folder to the mapserv application and the demo should run.
