Hi Chris,
I attempt to adress some of these issues for 1.3 (or shortly after 1.3
already).
I currently try to improve the capture agent install script to install a
core system (under Ubuntu or Centos) as an all in one or distributed
system, too. This means some more questions in the installer but less to
know about matterhorn I hope. And we have to QA this, but I hope that
many people are willing to do this in the community. I'm currently 50%
done with this, I hope I finished it by the end of the week.
And Denis and Lars are currently investigating on how to setup
repositories for Ubuntu and Centos (Red Hat, Fedora). I would not make
this part of the release process, as this will be a first attempt to do
this and we may encounter unpredictable problems...
I guess it will be a good idea to revisit these attempts and build a
real strategy for installation and distribution.
I would suggest early January for a meeting of such a taskforce, but
probably sometime in December is okay too.
Thanks
Rüdiger

We have installation issues. Some of these issues inlcude: operating system
and library issues, lack of clarity from adopters on how to install, a lengthy
installation proceedure, etc.
Lots of suggestions have come up in several discussions; make deb and rpm
packages, provide vms, write a core install bash script, don't advertise
support for certain OSes, etc.
I'd like to #propose a working group of folks be charged with considering these
issues holistically, and determining our best course of action, which we can
then aim to implement for 1.4. I'd suggest that a reasonable timeline is to
get a clear understanding of the tasks (in jira) and form MH 1.4 installation
will take before Christmas, then we can assign those tasks in January.
Folks I think should be on this working group ("all of us" doesn't sound like
an ideal number for getting things done!) include:
- Rubencino (has written much of the CA installation scripts)
- Ruediger or someone from Oz (Ruediger has mentioned an interested in building
OS-specific packages)
- Greg (who has investigated the VM building script and has participated in the
CA installation scripts)
- Matjaz (menu3p ftw)
- Tobias (or someone else from Entwine, who has useful feedback from a variety
of adopters on the current install process)
This group is already big, but I hope it will be made up of the right folks to
be effective. Comments welcome!
(I won't be at the dev meeting this week because I'll be presenting on
Matterhorn, but I hope it can make the agenda and the people above can discuss
it)
Regards,
Chris
