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

[William Karavites]

I forgot that it had a official package for tomcat. I usually just manually install it myself. 


I'll send you the script once I find it. It is pretty basic but it'll help with the package installs and setup.

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) 



I like your idea of using the Ubuntu packages for most components to leverage work and testing others 
have done already. 

Why did you list a *manual setup* for Tomcat? Ubuntu has an official package for Tomcat 7. 
Perhaps I'm mistaken? Did you mean to manually tweak the official Ubuntu Tomcat package? 
I agree THAT needs to happen. 

I don't know if you have easy access to fresh installs of latest Ubuntu LTS but EC2 lets new users 
play with small virtual servers free for one year. I was going to do some testing with that soon. 
That is a convenient way to shake out all the bugs on this Sakai install script against a known 
good Ubuntu machine.
