Hi Stephen, everybody > Do you have any (or know of any) open examples of a scripts for creating and > easily maintaining a JRubyStack-type of deployment.
We can share the JRubyStack XML project files, but since you are interested just in JRuby and that is relatively straightforward, they will not really help as the real complexity is in the additional components of the stack. Some comments below regarding your notes. > http://svn.concord.org/svn/projects/trunk/common/java/deploy/bitrock-installers > > and is being documented in a series of confluence pages here: > > http://confluence.concord.org/display/CSP/Java+Installable+Launcher General BitRock Questions 1. try setting an environment variable (is a reboot needed before that variable is visible?) * Usually reboot is not required. A message is broadcasted that the environment changed on Windows, if that is what you mean. Also, are you referring to system or user-level environment variables? 2. See if bitrock can support signing files Yes we do. You will need to use MS code-signing tools. You can drive them from IB in a <postInstallationActionList> http://support.bitrock.com/article/i-get-an-unkown-publisher-warning-popup-on-windows 3. See if bitrock can support online installers that are small and then download just the files that are needed. We do not (yet) have direct support. Though with some shortcomings, you can build your own in the mean time using httpGet, we will be happy to help you with that. Mac 1. Support for creating Mac packages We can create .deb and .rpm for Linux, but is not possible to create .pkg OS X packages (only regular .app installer that you can launch) Java 1. It has actions for finding the java executable, but it doesn't find the java.home just the executable. You can just use the parent directory of the binary as the JAVA_HOME. The problem is that in some scenarios a Java binary is available but no JAVA_HOME is defined, you can only guess it. Regarding this and the issues you raise of environment vs. java.properties in JAVA_HOME, why not simply define the variables you need in a wrapper script or launcher for your application? 2. Common data folder across distributions We have now implemented in 6.2.0 ability to filter Windows XP, based on your feedback. We will also implement installer variables for finding out the location of data folder across operating systems (and simplifying your current installer logic) Please let me know if there is any question I did not address Best regards Daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
