So, in light of the good old triad
./configure; make; make install
I propose to ship Cocoon 2.1 *AS IS*, sort of a cleaned-up version of our current CVS and improve a little the 'INSTALL.txt' doc that will suggest you to do
$> ./build.sh $> ./cocoon.sh servlet
and voila', that was it! or, if you really want to deploy stuff into your wervlet container do a simple
$> ./build.sh war
and you are done.
For the source distro, I think that it should be exactly as a CVS snapshot. That's the "source", and BTW how we decided that Centipede should make source distros.
And next step, when you want to tune your distribution for your needs simply do
$> cp build.properties local.build.properties $> cp blocks.properties local.blocks.properties
then edit them, then
$> ./build.sh clean $> ./build.sh $> ./servlet.sh servlet-admin &
A bit too klunky (as simple as it is) for the users that we include Ant in the distro for (laaazzy buts).
- Make that the local dir properties are created automatically if not present at each run.
- That a clean is always done with the basic build.sh.
- ok
so you can start/stop/restart your cocoon without having to star/stop jetty from the command line.
What do you think?
+1 for the source distro.
As for the binary distro, we simply never did one really. What I'd like to see is
cocoon-full.war
a war that works OOTB and contains all features. If we don't need to add the roles in cocoon.jar (this is a plight for someone to do the required microstep), we can just have users delete that parts they don't want. A quick system for making people evaluate Cocoon and see what it's about.
Finally, we really should remember to deliver a
cocoon.jar
file, so that build tools like Ant, Maven and Ruper (@see [EMAIL PROTECTED] discussions) can download it without getting all the distro.
