Quoting Wolf Halton <[email protected]>:
Jason,
Standing on the shoulders of those who made the install targets distributed
with EG2.1, I hacked together my own additions to target Ubuntu 11.10. It
seemed to work alright except for shoe-horning in Postgresql-9.1. I am sure
it is more trouble than it is worth to do this for production. I am
planning to do something like that again working from an alpha of EG on the
Ubuntu 12.03 LTS Alpha Flight. It remains to be seen if I can do it, but
at least working toward the next LTS version, I will not be doing something
totally useless.
Well, now you're drifting into dev-list territory, but let me share a
suggestion that the general community might also find useful.
Rather than using an alpha tar ball (2.2alpha1, I assume), I'd suggest
you install Evergreen and OpenSRF from git clones of the master
branches. It is much easier to keep up with changes that way and
updates are a snap. Learning to use git is practically a requirement
if you want to join the developer community, even just to work on
installation instructions for a new distro/release.
Git makes it super easy to share your patches/diffs with other
developers who can try them out, and then get them merged into the
main repository.
HtH,
Jason
/me runs off to investigate adding additional VMs on his development host.
