To Geospatial Open Source Project Leaders:
The Arramagong Live DVD http://arramagong.com, GISVM
http://gisvm.com, and OSGeo Live-Demo
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc projects are collaborating to
create a set of simple, automated install scripts for a wide variety of
Free and Open Source GIS projects, and we're calling on each project to
help us write a script for their software. Projects that can write their
install script this week will be included on The Arramamgong Live DVD
which will be given to all delegates at the FOSS4G
http://2009.foss4g.org conference.
The scripts should cover the installation and configuration of each
project into a base Xubuntu http://www.xubuntu.org/ 9.04 system.
Separate scripts can optionally cover data, demos and tutorials. As a
bonus, these scripts are exactly what packagers require to bundle your
project into Debian and Ubuntu, so you will be taking the first steps
toward getting your project into a Linux distribution.
The base version of the FOSS4G2009 GISVM/Arramagong Live DVD can be
trialed in a VMWare virtual machine and downloaded from:

Packaging Howto
For projects already packaged for Ubuntu http://packages.ubuntu.com/
or DebianGIS http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis, an install script will
likely be as simple as:
install_mapserver.sh
https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_mapserver.sh
#!/bin/sh
apt-get install cgi-mapserver
Projects that haven't been packaged yet are slightly more complicated:
install_udig.sh
https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_udig.sh
#!/bin/sh
