Hi Dan, I'm not aware of any completed efforts, but there's definitely been interest in this, particularly for .debs: https://wiki.duraspace.org/x/bYBd
I think the simplest thing to do would be to use the bundled Tomcat and database (Derby) for this purpose, rather than defining them as explicit package dependencies. If people wanted to upgrade to a more production-appropriate DB (e.g. postgres, mysql) after install, they could do that after the initial install with the help of the fedora-rebuild utility. The installer can be run non-interactively by passing it a .properties file as the first argument, so in theory it should be possible to have a package-manager-friendly installer just wrap that. I'm willing to advise on Fedora-specific bits if anybody wants to take a stab at this. I believe Ben's offer of cookies is still good. - Chris On Fri, Jul 9, 2010 at 5:03 AM, Dan Field <[email protected]> wrote: > Is anybody packaging their Fedora software for deployment?
