Re: request feedback on JBOSS debs
Your jboss debs for 3.0.2-2 deployed without problems on my
debian sid system. Good work!
But a couple of comments:
+ Does it really need to depend on your jdk1.4 package?
Jboss can run on 1.3 and most debian users will have already
installed jdk - having an extra 40MB download is a bit of a
hurdle for most.
+ The setting of JAVA_HOME should be done by an auto search and/or
a debconf dialog.
+ The default webcontainer for jboss is Jetty, but you don't appear
to allow just the default deployment - as it depends on tomcat.
Tomcat is an optional extra and really should be presented that
way. Alternately you should have a jboss-jetty deb that is
the default webcontainer for jboss, which may be replaced by
jboss-tomcat.
+ I see you have taken the approach of just including all the jars
that jboss uses in the lib directories as if you had installed
jboss normally. I can see the logic of this (simplicity) but
in reality it really should use the jars from /usr/share/java
is that your eventual intent?
cheers
