Hi Jontto
Upps! I did not realize I was reading the dev list and answering a
question addressed to a geronimo developer ;). FYI I am not a
geronimo developer just a user but I hope my contribution to the
discussion make sens anyway.
Peter,
Anyone is welcome to contribute to our developer's mailing list. Your
response was quite appropriate, I think. I certainly appreciated your
perspective... :-) So, thank you very much!

Hi Jontto
I have been following debian (and lately ubuntu) development for
some years now and I think this question should also be asked (or
even better asked) in the debian mailing list in particular the
debian-java list http://lists.debian.org/debian-java/ I think the
java team in debian would find geronimo to be fairly simple to
repackage to suite the linux FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard)
and additional stuff they would have to change or add for it to be
a suitable debian/ubuntu package.
That sounds good. If there are things that our community can do to
help encourage/enable this, please let us know!

Hi,
I could not find a Debian package of Geronimo, is there any
particular
reason for this or has it just not got done yet?
Of course you can download the normal Linux package and run that,
but a
Debian package with the configuration files and misc scripts
placed in the
Debian typical way in the directories would be nice.
