[xwiki-dev] XWiki Gentoo Linux ebuild

[Sergiu Dumitriu]

Hi Artem,

I haven't tried the ebuild yet, will do it in a day or two.

Some other USE flags I'd like to see:
src - for checking out the sources, too. You could check the status on
"ant src.dist"
doc - runs "ant doc" and places the generated documentation in
/usr/share/docs/xwiki/
test - runs the tests, too

I don't like the fact that it uses the 1.0 branch. It is not something
stable, I don't recall any ebuilds using something dynamic as the
source. We could have some other USE flags for this.
An ebuild should always have a stable tagged source, meaning that an
ebuild will have the used xwiki version. So the first ebuild could be
called xwiki-1.0.RC4 (or we can wait for 1.0), which checkouts sources
in xwiki/tags/XWIKI_1_0_RC4.
We can override this with USE=trunk, which will checkout the sources from trunk.

Another option which will be needed shortly is USE=mvn, which compiles
everything with maven.

What exactly does "/etc/init.d/xwiki start/stop" do?

What is the default build target? Or the user has to choose at least
one of war, tomcat...?

Sergiu.
