Introduction

  • This page is place holder for Thoughts and ways to tackle package management based on a call from Red1 on https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=7055233
  • This Hackathon is supposed to be held as a part of OSCON - Open Source Conference in the capital city of Malaysia this May 31st thru June 3. http://planet.foss.org.my/
  • In our preliminary discussions the community here are thinking of making ADempiere as one of the Hackathon candidates. The task for local hackers to accomplish on it is to make ADempiere installable crazy by a Yum, Apt or RPM.
  • Now we gather thoughts on what will be the technical issues. The end of the Hackathon we hope to produce a site that will allow the world to install ADempiere without any setup on their part. We can call it YummyERP.
  • Why : Making Adempiere user friendly for GNU/Linux users.
  • By Whom : Folks who wants to learn and help how package management works.
  • What: At the end of it get Adempiere with .deb, RPM and repos for apt and Yum

How

It is a 2 step process

  1. Package Management
  2. Repo Setup
