Re: [CODE4LIB] Running a repository on Debian Stable
Thanks to all who responded to this. I went with EPrints, using the Debian/Ubuntu package pointed out by Thomas and others, and it seems to be working OK.

Personally, I would think that Fedora is well beyond anything you're describing as desired, but just as a point of general information: If by the above you mean that Fedora requires the web-app, object store, indexes, etc. to be in one directory, this is certainly not the case. A simple default install will indeed put all these inside one directory, along with a Apache Tomcat install and Apache Derby plant (if you ask for those things to be configured for you), but that seems to me to be simply the most OS-agnostic approach. You can, however, rearrange the various filesystem (and other) dependencies howsoever you like. E.g. here at UVa we've used network storage for objects, other network storage for data, a separate database server, our own locally-configured Java container, etc. --- A.

I believe those guys at Index Data had a package and the searching should be pretty easy for you to set up. ;-) --Brian

[CODE4LIB] Running a repository on Debian Stable
Folks, I want to run a simple repository on a Debian Stable box -- something that lets me and other authorized people upload PDFs and create and edit metadata describing them, and that lets anyone search the archive and download the PDFs. In short, I want something like DSpace or EPrints, although I don't need anything like the full power of those packages. Most of all, I want something that I can install from the standard operating system packages, using apt-get. (I am not looking to invest time in becoming an expert in the archive system, and don't want to mess about installing from source.) I was surprised to find that there seems to be no package for DSpace, EPrints, Fedora, or any of the other half-dozen names that I tried. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!
