Hi,

Addressing

 http://dev.mygrid.org.uk/issues/browse/T3-1207

where we found that in Ubuntu 14.04 the Ubuntu Software Centre has
acquired a bug that manifests as showing "The package is of bad
quality" when trying to install the Taverna 2.5.0 *.deb releases.

It is possible to click "OK, install anyway" which will install Taverna.



I have reported this upstream to Ubuntu at
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lintian/+bug/1351380


But instead of waiting for that, I also talked to the install4j folks,
who have updated the installer.  Using this new installer and the
existing mvn clean install -Pdist job, I have re-packaged Taverna
Workbench 2.5.0 *.deb files:

 http://updates.taverna.org.uk/tmp/2.5.0-T3-1207/

Everything should be the same except the packaging, as it has used the
Maven artifacts released for 2.5.0.



Now, I have not tested these any further.. and so I am looking for volunteers!


would someone be able to try to install these in Ubuntu and confirm
that the "Bad quality" dialogue is gone for each of them?  Do it one
by one, as the Software Centre also seems to fall apart if you install
another package while the first one is installing.

I had previously tested these in Linux Mint, which uses a different
dialogue for installing - so be sure to use Ubuntu 14.04.


Secondly - it would be great if we could verify the sha1sum of every
file inside to check that nothing essential has changed since the
official 2.5.0 release - just verifying that Maven dependencies are
the same, essentially.  A little for-loop in bash should be able to do
that.  The original debs are at:

https://bitbucket.org/taverna/taverna-workbench-product/downloads/



I have not done all the new deb's for taverna-commandline yet - as I
started back-porting (e.g. cherry-pick) the fix for the RPMs which has
the wrong install directory -
