Re: Package creation for Canonical PPA ?

2016-01-21 Thread Ole Ersoy 

There's already various docker containers running ADS:
https://hub.docker.com/r/h3nrik/apacheds/

In most cases I think this is better than a PPA.

Cheers,
Ole

Thoughts ?

Agreed.

Long time, no see ! Good to see that you are still following ;-)

Hi Emmanuel.  Hope you had a great break in Germany!  One of these days I'm 
going to check out the castles as well.  And of coarse - you know I follow the 
best stuff :).  I'm really impressed with how far ADS has come.  See what 
happens when I go away :).

Cheers,

FYI, there is a PPA repository that contains the Oracle JDK:

"Legacy code" often differs from its suggested alternative by actually
working and scaling.

An alternative could be to generate and publish our own Debian
repository (https://wiki.debian.org/HowToSetupADebianRepository).

Another thing I looked into lng time ago is to bring ApacheDS and
Studio into Debian, But that was such a complex process that I gave up.
Especially Java and Eclipse base applications are difficult to bring in.

However I totally agree with you. We don't have the resources to
maintain it. We already provide a deb package for ApacheDS so I think it
is easy to install it on Ubuntu or Debian.

Kind Regards,
Stefan
