Projects that can write their > install script this week will be included on The Arramamgong Live DVD > which will be given to all delegates at the FOSS4G > <http://2009.foss4g.org> conference. > > The scripts should cover the installation and configuration of each > project into a base Xubuntu <http://www.xubuntu.org/> 9.04 system. > Separate scripts can optionally cover data, demos and tutorials. As a > bonus, these scripts are exactly what packagers require to bundle your > project into Debian and Ubuntu, so you will be taking the first steps > toward getting your project into a Linux distribution. > > The base version of the FOSS4G2009 GISVM/Arramagong Live DVD can be > trialed in a VMWare virtual machine and downloaded from: > http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/Arramagong_GISVM_FOSS4G2009_alpha1.7z > > > Timeline > > Date Date Milestone > 7 Sep 2009 in 1 week LiveDVD Feature Freeze > 11 Sep 2009 in 2 weeks LiveDVD Beta Release > 18 Sep 2009 in 3 weeks LiveDVD Final Freeze > 20 Sep 2009 in 3 weeks LiveDVD Final Release & sent to printers > > > Packaging Howto > > For projects already packaged for Ubuntu <http://packages.ubuntu.com/> > or DebianGIS <http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis>, an install script will > likely be as simple as: > > install_mapserver.sh > <https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_mapserver.sh> > > #!/bin/sh > apt-get install cgi-mapserver > > > Projects that haven't been packaged yet are slightly more complicated: > > install_udig.sh > <https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_udig.sh> > > #!/bin/sh > ################################################# > # > # Purpose: Installation of udig into Xubuntu > # Author: Stefan Hansen <[email protected]> > # > ################################################# > # Copyright (c) 2009 Open Geospatial Foundation > # Copyright (c) 2009 LISAsoft > # > # Licensed under the GNU LGPL. > # > # This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it > # under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published > # by the Free Software Foundation, either version 2.1 of the License, > # or any later version.
