[GeoNetwork-devel] [The Easy steps to get your project on the FOSS4G Live DVD]

Jeroen,
We'd love to see GeoNetwork on the LiveDVD at FOSS4G this year.

Is there any chance that you, or someone else on this list could write a shell script which installs GeoNetwork onto an Ubuntu system? It needs to be done this coming week if it is to make it into the FOSS4G printing deadlines.

The Easy steps to get your project on the FOSS4G LiveDVD.eml (9.51 KB)

Hi Jeroen,

How are you?

Hope that you can have a minute to help me again on this.

Since my last call, I've been able to install Geonetwork on GISVM Server edition.
I've followed your advice, and used the default instalation: Jetty & mckoi
Changed the start-geonetwork.sh, to avoid prompt, and made an auto-start script - geonetwork (see attached)
http://gisvm.com/forum/index.php?topic=47.0

The problem is that it became a very heavy solution because GISVM already comes with a running Tomcat + PostgreSQL + MySQL.

So I ask you if you could help us to make a script for an alternative installation of Geonetwork over Tomcat and Postgresql or MySQL.
So we could avoid having another Java Servlet and database instances running and using virtual hardware resources.

Thank you,
Ricardo Pinho

To Geospatial Open Source Project Leaders:

The Arramagong Live DVD <http://arramagong.com>, GISVM <http://gisvm.com>, and OSGeo Live-Demo <http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc&gt; projects are collaborating to create a set of simple, automated install scripts for a wide variety of Free and Open Source GIS projects, and we're calling on each project to help us write a script for their software. Projects that can write their install script this week will be included on The Arramamgong Live DVD which will be given to all delegates at the FOSS4G <http://2009.foss4g.org> conference.

The scripts should cover the installation and configuration of each project into a base Xubuntu <http://www.xubuntu.org/&gt; 9.04 system. Separate scripts can optionally cover data, demos and tutorials. As a bonus, these scripts are exactly what packagers require to bundle your project into Debian and Ubuntu, so you will be taking the first steps toward getting your project into a Linux distribution.

The base version of the FOSS4G2009 GISVM/Arramagong Live DVD can be trialed in a VMWare virtual machine and downloaded from: http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/Arramagong_GISVM_FOSS4G2009_alpha1.7z

   Timeline

Date Date Milestone
7 Sep 2009 in 1 week LiveDVD Feature Freeze
11 Sep 2009 in 2 weeks LiveDVD Beta Release
18 Sep 2009 in 3 weeks LiveDVD Final Freeze
20 Sep 2009 in 3 weeks LiveDVD Final Release & sent to printers

   Packaging Howto

For projects already packaged for Ubuntu <http://packages.ubuntu.com/&gt; or DebianGIS <http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis&gt;, an install script will likely be as simple as:

install_mapserver.sh <https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_mapserver.sh&gt;

#!/bin/sh
apt-get install cgi-mapserver

Projects that haven't been packaged yet are slightly more complicated:

install_udig.sh <https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_udig.sh&gt;

#!/bin/sh

cp uDigWalkthrough1.pdf $DATA_FOLDER/udig-docs

As we are still bootstrapping the packaging project, and as we are very short on time before feature freeze, manual steps can be included as comments in each install script, and can be automated by a project member, or packager at a later date.

Packaging details and examples can be found at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GISVM_Build

And help is available on the Live-Demo mailing list <http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo&gt; via Cameron Shorter, Stefan Hansen, Ricardo Pino, Hamish Bowman, Alex Mandel, Massimo de Stefano and others.
