thanks,

semi-bumped now. a build-checklist.txt in svn might help ..

still propagating packaging errors in this one leaving the
system in a broken state...


5.0a2 quick build log review:

everyone:
${CURLY} brackets do nothing to protect the command line from
spaces and special chars within variables. Use "double quotes"
for that.


geoserver:
FIXME: 'export FOO=bar' is a Bashism and will not work with Ubuntu's #!/bin/sh  (which is dash)

geomajas:
GeoMajas FIXME: Do not use 777 if at all possible.

geonetwork:
any way to make your 250mb package smaller?

deegree, openjump, maptiler:
FIXME: don't use wget for local files, just copy from local svn checkout:  cp ../app-conf/$FILE $DEST

gvSIG:
> mv: cannot stat `gvSIG19_new_features.tar.gz': No such file or directory
etc.

osm:
temporary DNS trouble, now fixed?
Static copy of Denver.osm.bz2 now stashed on OSGeo download server, note
many times bigger than Barcelona, which may make the PostGIS DB
huge?

Sahaha:
a number of errors, e.g.:
> DataError: value too long for type character varying(64)
> OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'applications/eden/compiled'

Ushahidi:

(probably want to do a timestamp check with the wget, but -N and -O are
mutually exclusive)

> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

there is no root password. try operating as another user name.
?

geopublisher, atlasstyler:
> E: Package 'geopublishing-doc' has no installation candidate

mapfish:

?
script is very verbose, making it hard to pick out real error
messages.

mapguide:
.debs need to be updated for Ubuntu 11.04, ie to not depend on odbcinst1debian1
Uses a disproportionate amount of disc space (>375mb). please
find ways to slim it down.

[after this all other deb installs are broken for the rest of the ISO build..]

ossim:
wants libgdal1-1.7.0, but only 1.6.0 and 1.8.0 are available.
-> rebuild for natty
WARNING: wget -N timestamping does nothing in combination with -O.

52nSOS:
please shut off pgsql verbose mode & fix errors, if possible.

otb:
fails-- no packages for ubuntu/natty found in PPA.

[after this even less of the apt system works...]


disc space:
can we safely uninstall linux-headers-2.6.38-8? (81.5mb)
+ linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic (10mb)
(is building the proprietary nvidia driver a critical need?)
