Hi,
Sorry I am late to the conversation :) We at BitRock will be happy
to provide free licenses for JRuby and to create and maintain the
installer (or help whoever wishes to create / maintain it) to your
specificications. We have some experience packaging JRuby apps, having
packaged JRubyStack as mentioned in an earlier thread as well as other
JRuby-based commercial projects such as GitHub:FI
(http://fi.github.com).
Hi Daniel,
Do you have any (or know of any) open examples of a scripts for
creating and easily maintaining a JRubyStack-type of deployment.
-- background ---
We are developing an installer right now using BitRock (we also have
a free license for our open source projects).
We are using it to replace an existing webstart deployment system
that downloads jruby and another 40MB of compressed jars. We plan to
still use webstart but with a goal of a 20kB download which then runs
many different variations of the code earlier deployed (and perhaps
updated) using bitrock.
All of our code is open source including the configurations and
scripts we are using for bitrock I think it's likely to be a bit too
specialized to help the work towards a jruby installer.
FYI: the work we've done (an early stage) is here:
http://svn.concord.org/svn/projects/trunk/common/java/deploy/bitrock-installers
and is being documented in a series of confluence pages here:
