Cocoon 2.1.5 as a FreeBSD port
Hi all,
Jean-Baptiste Quenot, a colleague of mine, made a FreeBSD port of Cocoon
2.1.5, replacing the previous one which was based on... Cocoon 1.8.3!!
See http://www.freshports.org/textproc/cocoon/
The port includes a GUI to specify which blocks are to be included by
the build.
Enjoy,
Sylain

A "port" in FreeBSD is a package, like an RPM or a DEB package for linux.

The FreeBSD « ports » is a collection of applications, ready to be
installed. Porting an application means ensuring it builds and installs
properly, not necessarily modifying the source code. It's rather a kind
of packaging for this specific platform.
The gui for choosing compile-time options cannot be incorporated as-is
into Cocoon, because it relies intensively on the FreeBSD ports system.
Best regards,

Out of curiosity, why does one need to "port" a pure Java app to
FreeBSD? The GUI sounds good though. Can it be incorporated into Cocoon?

Every operating system that is based on binary redistribution of
packages is limited by the proprietary nature of the Java Development
Kit, and especially Debian, who claims to distribute only free software.
On the opposite, every OS that is based on ports (BSD ports, or portage
on Gentoo Linux), does not normally redistribute binary packages.
Instead, the system fetches the distfile directly from the upstreams
author's server, per user request, encompassing legal limitations of
redistribution policy.
The specific problem of Java on FreeBSD is that Sun was not
« supporting » this platform until recently. One had to signup for the
SCSL (Sun Community Source License), agree to the terms, and download
the JDK source him- or herself, before building the unofficial native
port. Since a couple of months, a binary JDK is officially available
for FreeBSD, it is called Diablo JDK, based on JDK 1.3.

There is room for improvement in that domain. AFAICT, nothing exists
yet in that respect. I'd be glad to port those blocks as well. Another
thing that could be improved would be to let the user choose the servlet
container to be used for running Cocoon.

Wooohoo!!!! :) :)
This is something that I was thinking about not that long ago, and
discussing it with someone.

Yep, this is the same problem that I was discussing with someone.
That, and from what I gathered, Debian is pretty pragmatic about
dependencies, so we might run into problems with all the JARs that we
include with the distribution.
The FreeBSD ports idea is pretty cool, and I look forward to when we
have a whole mess of Real Blocks as separate BSD ports.

on the bug report ( http://bugs.debian.org/221219 ) you can read:
"The problem is that it can not be built without very much hassle on
a Debian system. The problem is that it depends hard on a specific
jvm (that do not exist in debian)."

NICE!! we should put this information on the web!!!
There used to be a debian package as well but, again, it was based on
1.8.2!!
I would *ROCK* to have a debian package for cocoon and a fink one too ;-)
