Hi,

we have made a new .deb package of Nuxeo DM for Debian and Ubuntu.

It's available for Debian 5.0 "Lenny" (and probably works for Squeeze too), and 
for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid" and 10.10 "Maverick".

There are a few major changes over the previous (5.3.2) packages:

- The package is now called "nuxeo-dm", not "nuxeo-dm-tomcat" or 
"nuxeo-dm-jboss". It is based on Tomcat, we won't do a JBoss-based .deb package 
in the foreseeable future (if you want to install Nuxeo on top of JBoss 5, you 
can still download it as an EAR from 
http://www.nuxeo.com/en/downloads/download-dm-form).

- The package now supports both the H2 embedded "toy" database (suitable only 
for testing, not serious deployments) and the PostgreSQL 8.4 database, which is 
the open source database we use and recommend for production settings. 

- Once the server is started, you can use the Nuxeo Admin Center to fine-tune 
de configuration, or to download (with the appropriate subscription) extensions 
from the Nuxeo Marketplace ( http://marketplace.nuxeo.com/ ).


Since this is still a recent development, we ask those with a Debian or Ubuntu 
machine suitable for deploying test software to try to install the package and 
report any issue you might find.

To do so:

- Either add "deb http://apt.nuxeo.org/ lenny releases" to your 
/etc/apt/sources.list file (substiture "lucid" or "maverick" for "lenny" if 
you're using Ubuntu), then run "apt-get update" and "apt-get install nuxeo-dm" 
(or use a graphical package manager).

- Or download the package from 
http://apt.nuxeo.org/pool/releases/nuxeo-dm_5.4.0.1-02_all.deb , install it 
with "dpkg -i" (and install the needed dependencies if it complains).


Note that on Debian Lenny, you might need to enable the backports if you run 
into errors such as "nuxeo-dm: Depends: postgresql (>= 8.4) but 8.3.12-0lenny1 
is to be installed".

To do so, add "deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports lenny-backports 
main contrib non-free" to your /etc/apt/sources.list


Note that at this point, these packages come with absolutely NO WARRANTY. We 
can't promise that it won't break your system, erase your data, etc.

ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR DATA before running an install or an upgrade, and perform 
the install first on a test server before deploying it in production.


One last thing: we have, according to the logs of the apt.nuxeo.org server, at 
least 2000 deployed instances of Nuxeo on Debian or Ubuntu. With this new, much 
improved version, we hope to gain many more users in the Debian and Ubuntu 
communities and hope you will help us with the final QA steps needed to deliver 
production-grade packages.

For Linux users of other distributions than Debian and Ubuntu: I'm sure you are 
also interested in having RPMs for Red Hat / Fedora / CentOS / Mandriva / 
OpenSuSE. If you're willing to help us with the task of creating this or these 
packages, drop me an email. I'm sure that parts of the scripts that have been 
written for Debian / Ubuntu can be reused.

The source code for the installer lives in 
http://hg.nuxeo.org/tools/nuxeo-packaging/ BTW.

Regards,

  S.
