couchdb ppa - help needed
Hello,
I was looking at the PPA from Randall which is the most up to date I
think (correct me if I'm wrong) and wanted to create a pseudo-official
one, at least one that we can give the link. I have have also 3 goals:
- having the stable version always available
- having a nightly build
- optionnaly having a beta branch for beta releases
(Any others ideas are welcome).
Anyway to do that I've create a couchdb team on launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/~couchdb
Members are restricted. Since I knew the login of randall I added Him.
If others committers have a login please let me know and I will add
it (contact me with your apache address). I will also add anyone that
could help to make this debian package happen especially if he come
with a patch ;) So please raise your hand!
Now apart these administrative details I wanted to collect the
current efforts to not start from scratch. For now I have found the
following packages for debian:
For js:
https://github.com/cloudant/packages/tree/master/debian/js
(though the license of the package need to be clarified)
couchdb:
https://launchpad.net/~randall-leeds/+archive/couchdb
any other?
Voila, hopefully we will have a ppa available in June, and it would be
cool to have one coming with the next release. So please help :)

While I'm fully agree to have an official repo on Apache, I would like
to also provides this PPA at least for the ubuntu people. It
considerably ease the process for ubuntu users (and us). Also it can
be used later as an entry point for an official package or partner
package imo.

I would like to reverse my position on this.
I've just watched CloudStack abort a sequence of main project releases
because the Debian packaging apparatus was broken. This wouldn't happen if
the Debian build was kept separate.
I think I'd like to propose that we create a new repository at the ASF that
can hold the extra packaging work. This could include top level dirs for
debs, RPM, Windows, OS X, you name it.

I like the Launchpad thing actually. :) I'd say: just go for it. We'll

To make this is not that I want to be on launchpad or whatever, just
found that it could be useful for some to be there. But I won't stand

It is apparently possible, but never tested.
Why not to have both. Of course we should support debian. Diversity is
important. I like the position of nginx about that. Actually the
ubuntu ppa is unofficial but they add "may be more fitting for your
environment." Which is the reason I think we could have both. Nginx
also maintain its own debian repo.

Hmm, okay.
But add-apt-repository surely works with a regular URL too?
What about Debian users? Can they use the same PPA? Or are we only
targeting Ubuntu for now?

yes, for ex:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:couchdb/apache-couchdb
done.
It can also do the work for us when it's about building the package
for the different ubuntu release.
Again having a presence of launchpad may also be good for us in term of image.

Re: couchdb ppa - help needed

Does Ubuntu streamline the process of adding the PPA to your
/etc/apt/sources.list?
If not, then it's the same amount of work to add a URL that is on
Ubuntu.com, as it is Apache.com. :) And setting up a reprepro repository is
trivial.
(I used to be a Debian developer, and maintained the couchdb package for
several years, so I am happy to help out here.

I'm all for having the tools in our repo. The PPA is a good plus for
the (many) user of ubuntu around. I think we could have both. It

We're definitely still using our SM 185 packages. I can't remember the last time we had to update them, though.

I think this is a great idea, although I don't fully understand
reprepro nor the work involved yet.
If cloudant is still supporting their spidermonkey builds, we should
use those, if not, I'd like to re-use their build packages, and point
to erlang-solutions OTP builds. This should be a pretty solid
arrangement.

+1 on moving RPM/DEB meta data into the main source tree. (Jan, these tools
expect specific top level dirs/files, but they're usually self-contained.
As you say, we can change things if it gets cluttered.)
Benoit, what about maintaining rpms/debs on Apache infra? Is there any
reason we'd want to use Ubuntu PPAs, when we can just set up an APT
repository with something like reprepro, and stick it on dist.apache.org.

I think I'll skip the pristine-tar branch since these tarballs are our

I’d say yes. If this gets in the way, we can always put it into a
separate repo. For now a subfolder like `./build` or so would do the

I had been using git-buildpackage tools to maintain debian, upstream,
and pristine-tar branches. I was doing this all from my local couchdb
repo. I don't know whether or not it makes sense to push all this to

the gbp (git buildpackage) tools to be pretty helpful now that I'm
used to it.

The cloudant packages repository is no longer maintained fwiw, it's
only not been deleted in case someone wanted to take it on.
