Tigase on launchpad.net
Submitted by kobit (not verified) on Sat, 2008-11-15 10:40
We are not moving project tracker or Tigase server development to launchpad.net however.
The purpose of the project created over there is to host prebuilt Ubuntu packages in a PPA (personal package archive).
A few weeks ago I announced that Gentoo ebuilds are available. I have also received information about RPM packages being maintained by someone. That would be the third packaging system for the Tigase server I know of. This makes live easier for all those who want to install Tigase server on different Linux distributions.
While I can not maintain packages for all systems myself I am always happy to help and assist those who decide to take this responsibility. If anybody is interested in helping with those please contact me. The Gentoo Linux ebuilds will be hosted in the main Tigase server SVN repository. Ubuntu packages on launchpad.net, I am not sure where RPM packages will be available but there is always a lot of space in our SVN.

Good question. Why not? I am
Good question. Why not? I am not against it but as I already said I just can't do it myself.
Everybody is welcomed to take over packaging Tigase for a specific platform, system, Linux distribution and I am willing to help and to give space in our SVN repository.
If you have knowledge and time, please consider joining the project and maintaining packages for your favorite system.
Why not get Tigase packaged
Why not get Tigase packaged in Debian? Or just packaged in Ubuntu? IMHO, a PPA is not a strategy actual XMPP server admins are going to be too keen on :-)
Thanks for the great work!
