Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot commented on DIRSERVER-931:
--------------------------------------------------
Maybe we can package the apacheds-noarch project as a Zip/TarGzip to solve this
issue.
WDYT ?
> Provide a zip/tar.gz download for DS
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: DIRSERVER-931
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-931
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Wish
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Environment: Win32
> Reporter: Jürgen Weber
> Assignee: Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot
> Fix For: 1.5.3
>
>
> Provide a zip/tar.gz download for DS in addition to the platform specific
> .exe download (like there is for Tomcat:
> http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi)
> In many corporate environments it is not possible for users to install
> Windows exes whereas unzipping a zip archive is possible. Same goes for Unix,
> it would be much easier to just untar DS into a directory and run it instead
> of having root install it.
> So installing DS is not possible even if DS could be run as pure Java
> application.
> Even if you have full control over your windows machine I don't like if Java
> software registers with the system, I like it much better if a software can
> be unzipped into a folder and simply runs (as with Tomcat, Geronimo or
> Eclipse).
> A workaround right now is to run the DS setup in a vmware vm, zip the install
> folder and unzip on the target machine.
