[Building Sakai] Any Ubuntu packages, EC2 images or other easier ways to get a CLE install up and running on Linux?

[William Karavites]

Sakai really doesn't need that many packages/apps anyway. 




    1. Subversion (official package) 
    2. Maven 2 (official package) - though for more control you may want to manually add this and then add it to the profile 
    3. Tomcat- Manual setup 
    4. Java- I just use the default-jdk for my Ubuntu 
    5. MySql- (official package) 


Depending on how our package works I think our script could be added to the official Ubuntu repository(Community) or we could make our own PPA and then add it to there using launchpad. It would have to go through SOME checks but I am not sure as much on that process. 




I'll see if I can find the script that I was working on.

I'd be all for helping someone set-up a Ubuntu package. I was trying to make a script earlier that would download all the pre-reqs needed for Sakai(which isn't hard at all). 


No matter what, there is probably a few minor tinkering that will be needed after. 


Say that's a good initial step for Ubuntu users.....make a bash script that does all the steps 
correctly to install CLE. 

People can share and test that. 

I don't know how Ubuntu packaging works but I imagine that script could be baked into 
an Ubuntu package later that could maybe even make it into the official Ubuntu repos. 
(Not sure how admittance is decided.) 

It'd be nice if a version was maintained and updated when a new Ubuntu LTS release came out.
