Earl, I've been building binary .deb packages from Nutch 0.7 trunk straight from ant for a few months now. It makes deployments to Ubuntu much smoother. Combine that with the "java-package" utils for deb-ifying the JDK, and your rollouts will be greatly simplified.

My Nutch packaging stuff consists of:

package/nutch/build.xml
package/nutch/DEBIAN/control.template
package/nutch/DEBIAN/postinst
package/nutch/default.properties

It's tested to work on Mac OS X (fink) and Ubuntu Linux.

If you're interested & possibly motivated to clean up the code a bit for general consumption ;), create a JIRA ticket so folks can vote on it & and I'll attach a tarball to the ticket.

Well, it may not be perfect, but I just wrote

which I think details pretty well everything I had to
do to get nutch trunk working on my ubuntu athlon box.


Anyway I can get it added to the wiki?  I am happy to
make edits first, if needs be.

I next hope to write tutorials on getting nutch to
work with mapreduce, in a few different ways, like
local fs, ndfs, local crawl, distributed crawl, and
the like.  I will likely need a little help :)

If anyone has style ideas please let me know before I
start this next one.  Right now, I could use a little
more commentary, as some sections just outline what
commands to run.  One dumb thing I would like is to be
able to double click on a command and have just the
command get highlighted instead of the whole line.

I would also like to try and get a straight debian
tutorial working.

Enjoy!
Earl
