Ubuntu openerp package

1

Not sure whether you guys have seen this but there is a openerp package for ubuntu:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/openerp-server

It would be good to have one for webnotes f/w + erpnext too.

I had started that sometime back.
gitorious.org/wninstall

(not tested, VMs on my computer are painful)
I guess I haven’t put the dependencies and the script download from
google code, not github but can be a kickstart for anyone!
This should make debian package and rpm package.
We will need a browser based page that runs the install.py

Hi checked it out(just code review, not testing either). Just a few observations, the apache folder layout is different in fedora vs ubuntu.
Ofcourse it is currently pointing to old svn repo.


Over the next couple of weeks, i'll see if i can test it.

Btw, why gitorious and not github??

i suggested you try the schroot +rinse option(http://teddziuba.com/2011/01/multiple-concurrent-linux-distros.html). Last time i tried it was simpler. Though not sure it comes with all the perks as VMs, but think it might be feasible to test the installation on them…

I haven't checked it exactly(syntax and standards) but ubuntu has this concept of post-install scripts. It may come in handy.

Hi checked it out(just code review, not testing either). Just a few

My bad. Actually I was building the rpm in opensuse build service and
it was failing due to 777 permissions (the issue is solved now) . rpms
will have have slightly different apache conf.

On debian based systems, its a trend with webapps that they are stored
in /usr/share/lib

Ofcourse it is currently pointing to old svn repo.

Over the next couple of weeks, i’ll see if i can test it.

first love. and we were on google code at that time!

agreed

Yes. I had given that a thought also and I dropped the idea (actually
you can ask questions also which appear in a nice ncurses interface,
ref : where you enter mysql password while installling). It would be
difficult to debug install issues.
Also talking of debian packages, this kind of a script does some work
by hand and runs the program that makes the binary debian package.
The traditional way of debian packaging is way more complicated but
mainly for programs that need to be compiled. Personally, the rpm SPEC
style is more pragmatic and easy.

Hey Pratik / Anand,

I have a plan -

1. Let us keep the installer erpnext focussed - thats the killer app, 99% of the people will come for erpnext
2. There need to be 2 scripts - one to build a package from the current source (which I can run on local) that will create a tarball that a user can download
3. Second will be the install script, that till untar, drop a file in conf.d for apache settings (on a separate port) - detail below:

build_package.py

1. Run git status to find if there are any un-committed files, if there are, stop the build process and ask the user to commit / stash
2. Restore the master db and patch it in a temp db - then dump it and create a sql.gzip
3. Keep a version file in the erpnext folder and increment the version we can start with 1.0.0
4. Zip the wnframework and erpnext folders in a tarball, excluding defs.py (better) and give it a number erpnext-1.0.0

install.py

the user untars the download in the folder they want to install (or we can select it to be /var/www)

1. find the current folder (we need it for the modules_folder settings)
2. the install process
- install if not exsists (mysql, python, apache, mysql-python, setuptools, pytz etc)
3. restore the dump (prompt the user for root password)
4. cleanup the dump (add missing tables) and delete sync_with_gateway from tabSingles
5. prompt user for the company name (its required) and set it in the control panel (tabSingles)
6. move the module_icons.png to wnframework/images/user
7. create a erpnext.conf (httpd) file on a virtual host (port 8080 or something) with execcgi enabled and drop it in the conf.d folder
8. ensure the erpnext folders have write permissions (or else there will not be any .pyc files that will degrade performance)
9. restart apache

That should be set.... we can write the process for debian and redhat package managers ---- should be do-able...

Once these scripts are ready, I will setup erpnext.org and we are set!

If anyone of you can setup a repo and mail the link, I will be happy to contribute in my free time over the weekend....

I think this can really kickstart the community as I feel there is a lot of interest in erpnext!

cheers,
Rushabh

Let’s also add an option, for the script to download latest dev branch code
or released stable tarball.

build_package.py

  1. Run git status to find if there are any un-committed files, if
    there are, stop the build process and ask the user to commit / stash
  2. Restore the master db and patch it in a temp db - then dump it

  1. find the current folder (we need it for the modules_folder settings)
  2. the install process
  • install if not exsists (mysql, python, apache, mysql-python,

I just set up a github repo(gi...@github.com:anandjeyahar/erpnext_build.git). Copied Pratit’s shell scripts and modified conf. files a little.

Sorry, it’s the end of the weekend though. was caught up in another
project.

I think this can really kickstart the community as I feel there is a
lot of interest in erpnext!

Yep, infact, i would like to see us make it available through ubuntu
distribution channels(repositories/mirrors).
