wohali opened a new pull request #4: New debian/ubuntu 2.0 .deb support
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-pkg/pull/4
 
 
   This PR includes full support for Debian-style (.deb) packages for:
   
   * Debian 8 (jessie)
   * Ubuntu 12.04 (precise)
   * Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty)
   * Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial)
   
   Full details are in `debian/README.Debian`, but here are some
   highlights:
   
   1. CouchDB 2.0 uses an erlang rebar release for installation. This is
   akin to a python virtualenv or a ruby rbenv setup. This relocatable
   CouchDB install contains the Erlang BEAM VM, all support libraries, the
   CouchDB libraries (including any natively-compiled code), couchjs, and
   so on. Because of this upstream architectural change, it has become
   impractical to install couchdb into the standard /usr hierarchy.
   
   2. This package installs CouchDB 2.0 into /opt/couchdb, with the
   following exceptions:
       * Database files are stored and expected in /var/lib/couchdb
       * Log files are stored in /var/log/couchdb
   
   3. Upgrades from the couchdb 1.6.1 packages are fully supported.
   
   4. This package includes the proposed `couchup' Python script from
   https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/483 and a patch to fix
   Coffeescript support.
   
   5. This package includes prompted `debconf' support to pre-configure
   CouchDB as a standalone or clustered node (or to bypass
   pre-configuration entirely). Instructions are provided on how to
   pre-seed these questions for noninteractive installation.
   
   6. There is full support for sysvinit, upstart and systemd init scripts,
   as well as logrotate.
   
   Temporary repositories with the binary files have been set up
   and will be detailed on the user@couchdb.apache.org mailing list
   for those who wish to give them a go.
