[request] redmine

billy · 2010-06-30 13:33:53

Hi, I created a package for redmine (issue tracker) and I have some question about packaging:

- I put the program in /opt/ dir because some folders are owned by 'redmine' user and some files are created after first run so they are not deleted on package removal. I think that this shouldn't go in /usr/. Or should I put the program elsewhere?
- Is the package good enough for AUR?

It would be nice to see a proper PkgBuild of the latest redmine version in the AUR.
Unfortunately, i've no idea to do this in the right way...

Generally, things in /opt are programs that conflicts with "standard" or non-current packages. Examples:

* Installing an old version of GCC
* virtualbox_bin vs. virtualbox-ose (_bin is the AUR pkg and installed to /opt)
* jdk vs. openjdk6 (both are in pacman, but jdk is installed to /opt/java)

Your package doesn't fit this criteria. There's also plenty of examples of programs leaving behind data after uninstallation, complete with their own user. mysql and mpd come to mind. You're creating a home directory in /var/lib for user redmine, why not put the database and other directory structures there?

Thx for the info . I''l update the package and upload it to AUR in next few days when I will have more time.

Finally I did it . I moved package to /var/lib/redmine and added post_upgrade function to migrate database properly.

Package is located here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39468.

You can run ruby on rails server on localhost:3000 with /etc/rc.d/redmine. If you want to run it with apache or some other webserver you have to do it on your own.
