| Hey Guys,
I've been busy trying to code RPMS, so I can automate
my OS installs, and then came across this:
http://www.jpackage.org/
They have these goals:
* To provide a coherent set of Java software
packages for Linux, satisfying all quality
requirements of other applications.
* To establish an efficient and robust policy for
Java software packaging and installation.
Tomcat and maven are among packages provided already.
Also this might help with Solaris packaging:
http://www.openpkg.org/
If ADS is a jpackaged installing is as easy as
yum install ads....
I know Fedora uses JPackages already and I'm sure many
other Linux distributions do as well.
I'm working on understanding the tomcat jpackage right
now, and I'll take a look at the ADS rpm after.
Oh - Incidentally the Tomcat rpm complies with this:
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/
I imagine doing the same for ADS would be a good
thing.
Cheers,
- Ole

Absolutely!
Right now the current RPM we have is a mess. We need some people to
step up and help us put things in order.
Plus we don't have solaris pkgs which are really nice to have.
Thanks,
Alex

| Guys, this seems to be a perfect tool for us !
The licience is compatible ( "For packages containing solely software
licensed under the GPL, LGPL, BSD/MIT (without the "advertising clause"), or
Apache Software Foundation licenses, the packaging work is licensed under
the same license as the software itself."), and some of our users need a RPM
which works (Bastiaan).
Ole, if you want any help, I'm your man ! (and we can also provide a debian
install).
Emmanuel

| Getting an ADS RPM that follows JPackage standards is
one of my top priorities, so hopefully we will have
one soon.
Cheers,

| Awesome!
I'm really impressed with what I've seen inside the
Tomcat Spec file so far.
I'm reading all this RPM stuff right now:
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/drafts/rpm-guide-en/
http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/RPM-HOWTO/build.html
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-rpm1/
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-rpm2/
As well as this regular expression stuff:
http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html
And this sed stuff:
http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html
(I gotta get these into the how to help docs - Or if
JPackage lists them, we can just cross link)
JPackage uses sed and regular expressions a lot, so I
have to get up to speed on that.
I'll send out a note when I have grip on their
processes and how I think the ADS RPM maps to it.
Oh - JPackages compile the source, so we need to
re-compile inside the RPM.
OK - Back to Reading the Tomcat spec.
Cheers,
- Ole
