Questions about glassfish packages on Debian Lenny

2009-01-13 Thread jerome moliere
Hi,
sorry for inconveniance,
but I was about installing GLASSFISH on Lenny based Xen domU then aptitude
search glassfish returned me something!!!
But aptitude install on the different packages left me with a strange
feeling:
- where is asadmin? find / -name asadmin returns nothing!!
- no init files automating the launching of Glassfish on the debian server

What is the aim of this package ? Just providing jar files but not binaries?

Is there any problem with binary from Sun (licensing related problems)?
I'm ready to contribute if help is needed...
Thanks for any answer

PS:
I'm working on doing a default init file /etc/default and /etc/init.d files
for having proper installation...

the biggest blocker for a real glassfish package is netbeans; see:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=506294.

 What is the aim of this package ? Just providing jar files but not binaries?

It is used to build other packages like hibernate3 (in Debian main) or
JBoss AS 5 (inofficial package at
http://wiki.debian.org/JBossPackaging).

Cheers,
Torsten

Hi Torsten,
thanks for your so quick reply, very precise too...
So as far as I understood, this is not aimed to deliver quickly a running
application server into a production environment?
And there's no so such package ?
I won't install netbeans on my production machine..It would be a waste of
time, resources...
So I 'll use  default jar install procedure and create some init.d scripts..
Thanks for your help
Cheers
Jerome
PS:
in CC I added Alexis Moussine Pouchkine from Sun , Glassfish evangelist..I
asked him about this problem and iI think it's a good idea to inform him...
