[DRE-maint] Bug#606983: run redmine as the redmine user

[Antoine Beaupre]

Package: redmine
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: wishlist

We're running redmine in a multi-user environment, where multiple web applications are deployed, so running it as "www-data" is not acceptable.

The way we're doing this is by fixing the permission on the config.rb file:

chown redmine /usr/share/redmine/config/environment.rb
chown redmine /var/cache/redmine
chgrp redmine /etc/redmine

It works great, except for upgrades, where I need to tweak permissions every time.

Is this something that could be considered for the package?
