[Live-demo] Geopublisher sample project rw issue

[Stefan Krüger]

Hi

I finally got the legal/data stuff cleared, and I am preparing a sample atlas 
for Geopublisher today that should also go in the DVD.  My idea is, that after 
starting Geopublisher, the open file dialog would automatically point to the 
demo atlas... 

I read at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GISVM_Build, that sample data should go 
to /usr/local/share/... .

But my demo atlas project folder must be "rw" by the user. 
> However, keep files in /home/user as small as possible as this folder is 
loaded into memory in the Live DVD. Symlinks into /usr/local can be useful 
here. 
No discussion: As it contains a few Mbs of data it would be a waste of memory 
to load the whole demo atlas always into memory. So it can't go into ~

What other options do i have? 

* Is it possible to create  /usr/local/share/geopublishing and make it "o=rw"? 
Or is that non-sense on the DVD (some file systems can do this magic on 
readonly-devices)?


Last Fallback option:
I could always put the zipped demo atlas into /usr/local/share/geopublishing 
and explain in a README.TXT how to open it - but that is not as nice as being 
able to open it directly. 

Any other ideas?
