Re: packaging geoserver



maybe this could be of interest for you
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=27497406
seems like opengeo already has some experience in distributing binary debs. looks also interesting.

Yeah I'll bug Andrea about getting it linked on the downloads page next
month sometime, bit flat out at work at the moment. 2.1.0 is up though =)

Link: https://bitbucket.org/adonm/geoserver/downloads

<https://bitbucket.org/adonm/geoserver/downloads>Note I have to stick a
check in the stop script so "restart geoserver" works properly - at the
moment it restarts too quickly and just ends up stopping - again on the
todo list.

    Hi, I installed your package and got geoserver running, nice work.
    Maybe you can cooperate with geoserver-team, so one day there will
    be a uptodate binary .deb package on the geoserver download page per
    default.

        Slightly unrelated but when I packaged it I isolated geoserver & its
        binary (its much easier to manage in its own jetty instance in
        terms of
        memory limits & sun java home etc)

        The unofficial package was built just using the binaries for 2.1rc5,
        though I know it doesn't meet debian packaging standards.

        Email I sent to geoserver-users

            Hi All,
            I packaged geoserver 2.1-RC5 with java advanced imaging for
            ubuntu/debian, only tested on Ubuntu 10.04 but should work
        on any
            debian based release that has sun-java6-jdk and upstart. The
        source
            is available on my bitbucket account
            (https://bitbucket.org/adonm/geoserver), run 'make' in the
        cloned
            repository to build the deb. Plain deb (~64MB) will also be
            available for download on same bitbucket site once my sluggish
            connection gets it uploaded.
            Note that its just the binary distribution setup to run nice
        =), all
            the environment variables are configurable in
        '/etc/default/geoserver' (e.g. port, jvm memory settings/other
            options, geoserver home, geoserver data dir)
            Geoserver home defaults to /opt/geoserver
            Data dir defaults to /var/local/geoserver and is preserved
        across
            upgrades along with conf in /etc/default/geoserver
            Log file in data_dir/logs/geoserver.log is symlinked to
            /var/log/geoserver.log
            I'll try and keep it at least within a month of the latest
        release
            as we use it quite heavily at work (Western Australia govt)
            Kind Regards,
            Adon

            Hi,

            a)Since geoserver is dependent on geotools, would it make
        sense to
            package geotools separate and make geoserver use this package?
            New versions are often released together from developer.
            A problem would be uDig, since it often comes with an older
        geotools
            version, which could make it necessary to have different
        versions of
            geotools installed in parrallel

            b)Do the sources in debian package only have to be
        compileable and
            provide already compiled binaries in binary debian package.
            Or has the binary debian package to be build from source debian
            package which involves integration of a maven build system
        (which
            seems to be a lot work, as far as I know by now).

            cheers
