Hi,
I'm almost done with Debian package for James. The current set-up
installs everything in /usr/share/apache-james just like unpacking the
zip archive there.
On my Ubuntu, I have run 'mvn package -Dmake-deb' and successfully installed
apache-james_3.0-beta5-SNAPSHOT_all.deb. Well done!
Thanks,
I've found some issues already. To use mysql I have to copy the jar to
conf/lib and it's not clean. Also it seems not to load it on the
classpath, but I will double check this.
you mean not clean to have files manually copied in
/usr/share/apache-james/conf/lib? What is the standard way to manage
java classpath under debian?
About the mysql jdbc driver in additional jar, we talked about it on
(http://markmail.org/thread/xahe3bwambjti6o4) and you opened and
resolved JAMESAPP-8 for this. Does it still give issues?
(I didn't try to run it yet)
How do I configure James to store application created files (the
database and mails ) under /var instead of /usr/share/apache-james/var
? This is required to allow the package to uninstall cleanly.
There are a few place to take into consideration:
- james-database.properties : you can define an absolute path for
database.url=jdbc:derby:../var/store/derby;create=true
- mailbox-maildir.properties : you can define an absolute path for
maildir.folder=../var/store/maildir/%domain/%user
- for the amq storage, I have opened JAMES-1413. It should be more
generalized to allow configuration (as well as absolute as relative)
- the mailrepository paths must also be considered
Improvements on my list:
- make symbolic links for james service to /etc/init.d and register
james as a service
- add james-cli to path
I've commented on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1343 on
how to create& install the package. It should work on any distro
capable of installing a *deb.
Cheers,
