Hello, I've started working on packaging James as Debian package. Basic stuff is in james-app and you can create a *.deb package by running
$ mvn package -P make-deb I will work in the next days to make it usable and go for Debian Java policy compliance [1]. With respect to FHS [2] the layout will probably look like this: - config files will go to /etc/james - loggs will go into /var/log/james - binary and start-up scripts will go into /usr/bin - other files will go into /usr/share/james - docs, readme and license will go in /usr/share/doc/james The config files will probably need to be adapted for the new layout. I choose james as the folder installation name and I will also use this name as the user name under which James will run (without super user priviledges). Please make corrections/suggestion on what I said above.
