[ANNOUNCE] ubuntu precise couchdb packages available
Hi everybody,
I’m delighted to announce the availability of Apache CouchDB Ubuntu
Precise (12.04) packages, with integrated upstart support.
These have been contributed with support from Mobius Medical Systems,
LP [1], who use Apache CouchDB in their product Mobius3D/FX for
oncology and radiology, and funded the development of this work
through the Couch Firm [2].
This would not have been possible without the assistance of Jason
DeRose (who has lead the 1.5.0 package going into the next Ubuntu
Trusty release), and Noah Slater, who was surprised on reviewing the
package to find so much of his original work there ;-).
Installation should be straightforward, usual caveats around making
backup before upgrading precautions apply, noting that between 1.0.1
and 1.5.0 there are a number of key changes, including the on-disk
data format used by the .couch files was upgraded. Although it
*should* keep your dbs intact and do the right thing for your
local.ini files, always have a backup - or two!
```shell
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:couchdb/stable -y
sudo apt-get update -y
# remove any existing couchdb
sudo apt-get remove couchdb couchdb-bin couchdb-common -yf
# see my shiny 1.5.0 goodness
sudo apt-get install -V couchdb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
couchdb-bin (1.5.0-0ubuntu2)
couchdb-common (1.5.0-0ubuntu2)
couchdb (1.5.0-0ubuntu2)
… Y …
# manage via upstart
sudo stop couchdb
couchdb stop/waiting
sudo start couchdb
couchdb start/running, process 3541
…
```
You can of course modify or duplicate the /etc/init/couchdb.conf
script, to support running multiple couchdb instances or users on the
same box.
Note there's also a `couchdb/dev` ppa which will be used for testing
and updating the next release, e.g. the upcoming 1.6.0, before
switching it over to the stable branch once it's had enough eyes on
it.
Feedback welcome!
A+

I can see the package here:
https://launchpad.net/~couchdb/+archive/stable
It's also under /dev, but I believe that's going to be moved out to
make room for 1.6 at some point.
Cheers,
Eli

Though it doesn't looks like updated or I missed something. Maybe Dave
choosed another place to work on the package.

Have a link to this? I am not familiar with debian packaging at all. But
I think it would be smart to talk to the debian couchdb maintainer
nonetheless.
I grit my teeth on the various debian couchdb related pages and found this:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/couchdb.html
Judging from comments on a bug [1] Laszlo Boszormenyi is actively
maintaining the debian package.
Apparently [2] there are some problems with old libs (libnspr4-0d) and
non-mainstream platforms because the erlang-base-hipe dependency is not
satisfiable there. No idea how critical that is.
There is a list of bugs [3] that appear in debian, some of them seem
fixed in current CouchDB, but it would be worth double checking I think.
I guess I could reach out to the debian maintainer and see if I can help
him somehow, any other ideas?

I guess this why we created the launchpad, It's possible to add a
debian target on it i think. If anyone want to be added let me know.

Might I suggest that you folks form a team around this work. First
step would be a wiki page perhaps. Just a place where you can put your
name, and save notes on what the plans are. Really excited to see this
get some traction. We desperately need packages, so any help any of
you can provide is hugely important for the project! :D

I will try to find out what is needed for a Debian build over the weekend. Ubuntu is moving further away from the general Linux community, so a Debian build would be nice. Also, integrating in systemd needs to be done anyway.

It's also questionable whether you want to still support 1.5.0 in 5 years :)
Great to see fresh packages, I had been wishing for that just two days
ago! It's also the next ticked checkbox, after the marketing kickoff, on
the Goals for 2014 list yet to be written!

Oh, I meant just 'build it against Debian'. Getting into actual Debian upstream is a feat for the infinitely patient.

asfaik the Debian release process is really long ... the page here
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=couchdb
shows, that CouchDB 1.2 is stable and CouchDB 1.4 is testing. So how long
will it take to get 1.5 or even 1.6 into stable? Long! So I suggest to get
in touch with the maintainer and see what his thoughts are on the topic of
upgrading to a newer version. But I guess the process will still take very
long ...

A better question would be "should this be updated by the debian
packagers, or do we go the whole hog and roll our own debian repo?"
I can't answer that myself. But given there's no upstart support in
debian, I'm not sure we are significantly better off with our own one.
What's the Right Thing To Do here?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ubuntu precise couchdb packages available
Posted by Andy Wenk <an...@nms.de>.
Hi Dave,
wow super awesome! We need to spread this to the social media channels. And
furthermore I suggest to write a blog post. I can do that if no one
disagrees.
Thanks a lot :)
Cheers
Andy

Re: [ANNOUNCE] ubuntu precise couchdb packages available
Posted by "Eli Stevens (Gmail)" <wi...@gmail.com>.
Thanks for working with us Dave, it was a pleasure. And I'm glad to
see that people are excited about the end result.
While I can't commit to anything right now, I'm going to be pushing my
company to sponsor more of these in the future. It probably won't be
every release (our product release cycle is quite a bit slower than
CouchDB's, and it's a bit of a hard sell when we know we won't end up
using the package), but I'm hoping that between hitting
every-other-ish release and having everything contributed back to the
community coverage will be at least decent.
Of course, our eventual (selfish) goal is to get all of this folded
into the release process proper, but that... will have to
wait.</evilmastermind> I agree with Noah, though - I think that
having easy-to-find binary packages will help with adoption rates
among people that are trying to quickly evaluate a number of products
in the space. Baby steps!
Cheers,
Eli (wickedgrey on IRC)
