Ole,

If you intend to use jpackage see if you can add the functionality straight into the daemon rpm here:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/trunks/daemon/plugin

Basically this daemon plugin is a dual purpose plugin. It makes your java app into a daemon on UNIX and a Windows Service on windows platforms using jakarta daemon jsvc and procrun respectively.

The neat thing about this plugin is that it does that and generates installers for your server application as well as RPM packages.

It's the RPM part we want to replace so it uses jpackage instead of the rpmbuild executable. That should be easy to do.

Thanks,
Alex

P.S. Bastiaan also had some ideas for improving this plugin. Perhaps you guys can work together on improving our packaging/installer generating plugin.

Hi Bastiaan,

I have created another JIRA,
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-765, which is related
to RPM creation using jpackage (www.jpackage.org).


AH, great, a jpackage based RPM is even better.
Ole is trying to use it to create valid RPM.

Feel free to add any comment to this JIRA, we will use it to track any
progress on this task.


OK.
Emmanuel

PS: can you use the dev list instead of sending mails directly to me?
Some other committer may help you when I'm not online !


Heh, in your last comment on DIRSERVER-749 you told me to contact you if
needed, so I did... ;-)
But I'll go back to the dev list for discussion on 765.

        Hi Emmanuel,
Now that ApacheDS 1.0 has been released hopefully you have a
        bit of time
        again to go through the RPM packaging patch in DIRSERVER-749
        with me.
        When would be convienent?
