[Ubuntu] [Geoserver-devel] GeoServer and GeoTools Debian/Ubuntu Packaging

Tue Jul 15 05:18:31 PDT 2014

Hi,

I could simply package the binaries, but my goal is to create a package 
that could be available on the official repositories and for that the 
package needs to be built from source.
Do you think this is the good approach? Do you guys think 
GeoServer/GeoTools need to be on the official repos?

Concerning JAI. The JAI-Core and JAI-ImageIO package already exist, in 
non-free. From what I've seen in GeoTools' pom.xml some modules require 
JAI, this would mean that these GeoTools package would have to be put in 
non-free (I think?) since they depend on a non-free package and so if 
GeoServer depends on one of these, it would be put in non-free too 
anyway. That is if I understand correctly the Maven Dependencies, maybe 
the JAI dep could be ignored by Maven?

Thanks for the answers
