-------------------------------------
Hi,
thank you for wrining the specfile - i take a quick view at your RPM (just
inspected by using cpio):
Some ideas/hints from a sysadmin's view:
- rpm creation should be automated
Maybe you can add activemq to SUSE build service to create RPMs for several
plattforms.
(see: http://de.opensuse.org/Build_Service)
Automatic creation of a daily snapshot based on svn-trunk would be a cool
idea.
- ActiveMQ persistence data is currently located in /var/cache/activemq - this
looks not very
LSB compliant. Maybe /var/lib/activemq would be a better way
- /etc/activemq should only contain one single configuration
(all other activemq-*.xml configurations should be placed in
/usr/share/activemq/example/conf)
- Basic configuration for the init-script should be moved to
/etc/default/activemq
- ActiveMQ comes with the java wrapper:
/usr/share/activemq/bin/linux-x86-64/libwrapper.so
/usr/share/activemq/bin/linux-x86-64/wrapper
=> it seems that this is the main reason to have separate rpm-archives for
different platforms
=> in my opinion it would be a good idea to deliver activemq as a "noarch"
package by using
a init-script which do not need a binary helper.
(see also my implementation
https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-2453, unluckily i got no feedback
what is needed to get it in activemq-svntrunk)
=> in my opinion it would be a good idea to deliver activemq as a "noarch"
package by using
a init-script which do not need a binary helper.
(noarch packages can i.e. be used on linux-x86/x86_64/s390/arm/.. and also
on systems which support rpm like aix/pseries,...)
- ActiveMQ should not run as root-user as default
I'm also interested in having distribution packages of activemq - if you like i
can contribute to the specfiles....
Regards
Marc
> Add support for rpm distribution

> Key: AMQ-2105
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-2105
> Project: ActiveMQ
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 5.2.0
> Environment: linux, rpm-based
> Reporter: Erik Drolshammer
> Attachments: activemq-rpm.tar.bz2,
> activemq-rpm_standalone-project.tar.bz2
>
>
> Todo:
> * Create separate rpm maven project
> * move config, scripts, documentation from the jar project
> 14:57 < Sherriff> Have you thought about distribution with for example rpm?
> 14:58 < Sherriff> gtully: It seems to be working a lot better without
> systemUsage and destinationPolicy defined. Thanks alot :)
> 14:58 < rajdavies> Sherriff: yeah - would be a good idea
> 14:59 < Sherriff> rajdavies: Do you use Maven2 to build it now?
> 14:59 < rajdavies> Sherriff: yep
> 15:00 < Sherriff> Cool.
> 15:00 < Sherriff> If you would like I can set up an rpm-project based on
> appassembler-m-p and unix-m-p.
> 15:01 < Sherriff> for you.
> 15:01 < rajdavies> Sherriff: that would be awesome!
> 15:02 < Sherriff> It use Java Service Wrapper and some (a bit outdated doc)
> can be found here:
> http://wiki.community.objectware.no/display/smidigtonull/RPM+Deployment+with+Java+Service+Wrapper
>
> 15:02 < Sherriff> The project setup would then be 1. jar-project and 2.
> rpm-project.
> 15:03 < Sherriff> 2. Would contain config file, readmes, etc. and the
> start/stop scripts are generated by appassembler.
> I can probably do most of the work since I already have working rpm setup
> that I use for other projects.
