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
