Hey Guys,
I've been busy trying to code RPMS, so I can automate
my OS installs, and then came across this:
http://www.jpackage.org/
They have these goals:
* To provide a coherent set of Java software
packages for Linux, satisfying all quality
requirements of other applications.
* To establish an efficient and robust policy for
Java software packaging and installation.
Tomcat and maven are among packages provided already.
Also this might help with Solaris packaging:
http://www.openpkg.org/
If ADS is a jpackaged installing is as easy as
yum install ads....
I know Fedora uses JPackages already and I'm sure many
other Linux distributions do as well.
I'm working on understanding the tomcat jpackage right
now, and I'll take a look at the ADS rpm after.
Oh - Incidentally the Tomcat rpm complies with this:

I imagine doing the same for ADS would be a good
thing.
Absolutely!
Right now the current RPM we have is a mess. We need some people to
step up and help us put things in order.
Plus we don't have solaris pkgs which are really nice to have.
Thanks,
Alex
