I've uploaded a version of CouchDB 1.1.1 to my personal package archive [1].
I would appreciate for anyone to take some time to test this. I plan to provide the same for 1.2 and other future releases. Relax. Using it is as simple as: $ apt add-repository ppa:randall-leeds/couchdb $ apt-get update $ apt-get install couchdb I've combined previous packaging efforts from Debian and Ubuntu and attempted to bring them into harmony[2] on my GitHub account using git-dpm[3]. I would like to facilitate sharing packaging and keeping CouchDB up to date on these and other .deb distributions and would appreciate feedback from the downstream packagers on whether or not I'm doing it right. Differences inherited from Debian: - Permissions on installed files are slightly more strict, being entirely unreadable outside the couchdb user/group. Differences inherited from Ubuntu: - couchdb and couchdb-bin are split packages. The former is architecture neutral. -Randall [1] https://launchpad.net/~randall-leeds/+archive/couchdb * [2] https://github.com/tilgovi/couchdb/tree/debian and https://github.com/tilgovi/couchdb/tree/ubuntu [3] http://git-dpm.alioth.debian.org/ * It is my full intention to faithfully produce a packaging of original release tarballs. The paranoid may check that the original source matches that of the official release. No changes outside packaging will ever be included in this archive and I will only ever upload packages for released versions of CouchDB. In short, help me make sure this is a great way to keep an up-to-date CouchDB.
