Restarting the vote since the first one was a bit fuzzy, too late in 3.2 cycle and I made some required improvements since then.
The idea is to make as easy as possible to install production ready XWiki Enterprise (and others later probably) on debian/ubuntu.
Here is what is provided right now:
* a "common" package which is a base package containing a XWiki with everything except the hibernate setup (but it provide some templates which are used by other packages) * a "tomcat-mysql" package which depends on xwiki commons, tomcat6, mysql-server, libmysql-java debian packages and make sure a MySQL database is created for XWiki and that it's properly added to tomcat applications * a "tomcat-pgsql" package which depends on xwiki commons, tomcat6, postgresql, libpg-java debian packages and make sure a PostgreSQL database is created for XWiki and that it's properly added to tomcat applications * I wrote a script to run in a cron which update a Debian repository descriptor (Packages.gz) in releases and snapshot maven repositories and also create a virtual "stable" Debian repository which contains only stable releases * it of course follow Debian standard path (configurations files in /etc/xwiki/ etc...) and you get nice conflict resolution tools when upgrading files thanks to dpkg
+1. Internally, the resulting package looks good (as far as I can understand from a .deb). I don't like the artifactId xwiki-enterprise-common. Shouldn't it be xwiki-enterprise-debian-common, at least in the current place? After moving it inside xwiki-enterprise, we'll probably have to change all the IDs into something like xwiki-enterprise-distribution-debian-common. WDYT about an (optional?) Apache HTTPD front-end configuration, as in also provide and enable the perfect way of proxying XWiki?
Some links: * jira issue: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XE-985 * design page: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/DebianPackage * code: https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-debian * the script: /home/maven/xwiki_scanpackages.sh
WDYT ?
Here is my +1
