Hello.
This email is mainly for Gentoo Linux users/admins/developers.
I write a draft version of XWiki ebuild (package analog) for Gentoo
Linux distribution:
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-467
ebuild in attachments
install instructions in comments
For now ebuild can (USE flags):
war - simple build war in
/usr/share/xwiki-svn-1.0/lib/xwiki.war
exowar - build exo portlet integration war in
/usr/share/xwiki-svn-1.0/lib/xwiki-exo.war
standalone - build standalone distribution (embedded hsqldb and jetty)
and install it in /usr/share/xwiki-svn-1.0/standalone
run by /etc/init.d/xwiki start
tomcat - deploy to tomcat6. simply symlink war file :)
write what you want else?
ebuild will checkout
svn://svn.forge.objectweb.org/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki/branches/XWIKI_1_0
sources for building and uses ant for building.
ebuild uses svn because xwiki haven't source distribution yet. But I
think for test this ebuild svn is most suitable.
Later we will needed source distribution for xwiki releases.
ebuild allow to Gentoo user to install xwiki very easily without any
knowledge in xwiki.
I tested this ebuild on ~amd64 arch, sun-jdk-1.5 & 1.6 (with some
patches allowing xwiki to compile at 1.6).
I would like to hear some feedbacks,notes,misprints and bugs before we
can propose this ebuild to Gentoo java-overlay or java-experimental overlay.

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...?

There are standard use flag "source". xwiki
ebuild use
core/src/main/java sources.
Current ant src.dist target make only doc, lib (no need in 'source' flag
IMHO), and some resources but no sources. I think it is wrong behavior.
doc - runs "ant doc" and places the
generated documentation in
/usr/share/docs/xwiki/
ok

ok

ok. In next version i will use stable tag.
We can override this with USE=trunk, which will
checkout the sources
from trunk.
I think it is better to use a separate ebuild for trunk version
(xwiki-svn-9999.ebuild for example). Some ebuilds do so
(sys-apps/initng-9999).
Another option which will be needed shortly is
USE=mvn, which compiles
everything with maven.
It is much harder. maven2 building in gentoo has some
problems. It is
using only in java-experimental overlay and very experimental :).
There are even (failed:() GSoC07 project in support maven2 in ebuilds :)
Some ebuilds using build.xml generated by maven.
http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/wiki/Maven_Notes
I think in ebuild for 1.0.* maven2 support is minor. If I find some
time, I will look at maven2 status in java-experimental overlay.
What exactly does "/etc/init.d/xwiki
start/stop" do?
Init script will start/stop jetty in standalone xwiki.
/usr/share/xwiki-svn-1.0/standalone/
For now it is use following command:
su - xwiki -c "${JAVA} ${JETTY_OPTS} -jar start.jar" >> \
/var/log/xwiki.log 2>&1 &
Maybe it is not best variant.
jetty-5.1.3-r1.ebuild in java-overlay uses /extra/unix/bin/jetty.sh
script which I find not in xwiki standalone.
What is the default build target? Or the user has to
choose at least
one of war, tomcat...?
Default ant build target = release. But if user do not
select any use
flags he gets only /usr/share/xwiki*/lib/xwiki.jar :)
We need to consider default behavior for this ebuild.
Thanks for feedback.

OK.
For the moment, the ant build is fine. Let's hope that until it will
become deprecated (around 2.0?) Gentoo will have better support for
maven builds. One more reason to always keep the ant build up2date.
So, we use our own jetty, and not an emerged one, right? What if the
user used the tomcat flag? Shouldn't /etc/init.d/xwiki check the
status of mysql and tomcat instead?
Speaking of mysql, we could also provide some flags for choosing the database.
xwiki.jar is OK for me as the default behavior.

/etc/init.d/xwiki will not be installed.
If user will USE=tomcat, then he needs to configure xwiki manually for now.
I think it is possible to configure mysql/pgsql in
# emerge --config xwiki
pkg_config() function in ebuild.
ebuild will ask user the root password for mysql/pgsql and create xwiki
database.
xwiki.jar is OK for me as
the default behavior. Ok
