PPA for Debs..?

I cannot find a source of ActiveMQ Debian packages that are up to date. Is
there one?

We're trying to install all new servers using apt-get almost exclusively,
yet have the need of improvements in 5.9. Others in the company are noting
RabbitMQ does and are suggesting we should take a look...

Thanks,

James

AMQ-5285. May need to be moved to another project - no components listed
mentioning build processes.

+1 for this - IIRC, Ubuntu and/or Debian already have .debs, but they're 
a bit old, and I don't think they work terribly well.

Happy to help on the testing side for this.

I might have to add a ticket to get this included at the end of the build
pipeline given it is trivial to achieve and will aid adoption.

I stumbled on fpm and then onto a project that uses fpm to create ActiveMQ
debs from tarballs:

https://github.com/rgevaert/activemq2deb

After a few fixes (a PR is pending) I've managed to publish 5.7.0 and
5.10.0 to bintray. If anyone would like to try, add this to your
sources.list:

deb http://dl.bintray.com/jmkgreen/deb /

You should be able to apt-get update then apt-get install activemq and see
it fire up. The folders look pretty reasonable for a debian system. The
packages are not signed.

Thanks,

James

The obvious answer - time. I've never done it before and don't envisage the
company I work for wanting to take it up.

Route of least resistance is possibly to take the existing deb and replace
the jars inside - does that sound sensible?

Serious question - what stops you making your own .debs?
