BTW there is also another package with no dependency on Tomcat or any
database which is a dependency of the others which are just handling
specifically the link to tomcat and the database stuff. So it's also
possible to use that and take care yourself about theses aspects.

That could not work as you expect anyway I think since I doubt it
would be possible to know the right debian package id by looking at
the maven package since it's usually not exactly the same.

hmm I think I don't understand something then. I thought it was like defining a
pom.xml but using the Debian DEB dependency syntax. Thus I thought that you'd have to
explicitly put a dependency on MySQL or Tomcat inside the file where you define the
dependencies. Isn't that so?

The README at https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-debian/blob/master/README says:
"Debian/Ubuntu Package(s) of XWiki built using maven."
Shouldn't it say "XWiki Enterprise" instead? Also shouldn't it mention
that it's packaging Tomcat and MySQL too?
Yes it should say "XWiki Enterprise".
It's not packaging anything, it has a dependency on it. And anyway at
this level it's only about XWiki Enterprise as debian package, there
is potentially not only Tomcat and there is not only MySQL (there is
already a PotgreSQL package as I said already).
Is it possible to define several dependencies (like PostGreSQL and MySQL) in the same
file and then have the user choose which one to install when resolving the file at
runtime?
I don't think so since dependencies are downloaded before your install
script is executed in Debian. That's the reason why I did several
packages actually since letting the user choose the database to use is
pretty easy.
In any case I think it means we're going to support only some dependencies and not
all that exist and thus we should document somewhere which one we support.
Not sure what you mean here. We currently provide Tomcat/MySQL and
Tomcat/PostgreSQL based packages, there will maybe be more later,
maybe not but apart from listing them I don't see what you want to
document more.
Maybe I misunderstood something?
Thanks

I don't understand why you're proposing to move it to the platform. It seems to
me it's an XE packaging and not a Platform packaging.
I meant moving it in standard, so yes XE just wrote it too quickly.
More generally we need to decide what packages we want to officially support as a dev
team.
Should we support them all: RPM, DMG, etc? should we only support some?
Personally I think it's ok to add support for as many platforms as we want provided
1) that the quality is good enough (otherwise it generates lots of questions on the lists
and doesn't give a good image of the XWiki project) and 2) that we have an active
committer willing to support it. In case this committers goes away or becomes inactive on
this distribution we shouldn't hesitate to move it to xwiki-contrib.
Regarding the work you started I think it could be ok to start making it part of our
official sources provided you agree to maintain it and make it to a high quality standard.
Of course. Also note that Debian package is not just one package among
others in this case since we always use Debian internally ourself. It
would be harder to maintain any other package I guess.
WDYT?
Thanks
