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.
See: https://bitbucket.org/adonm/geoserver/
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
