I am thinking about packaging Nutch officially for Debian, so I was reading over the Debian instructions on the Nutch Wiki. It looks like Nutch really wants to be in the top level namespace, for example various links will point to /search.jsp rather than something like /nutch-0.6/search.jsp. This prevents Nutch from peacefully co-existing with some other web application packages already in Debian.
Is there a best practice or recommendation for dealing with this issue? I think I'd like to see a compile time option to generate a modified nutch.war that doesn't assume control of the top level namespace. (i.e. links point to something like /nutch/search.jsp). But I'm open to ideas. Cheers, Jeff http://nutch.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Main/GettingNutchRunningOnDebian#I_uploaded_the_Nutch_war_file_
