Hi,
Hi Torsten,
I'd like to find out if there is some interest in the Debian und Ubuntu Java communities to package Liferay Portal. Liferay <http://www.liferay.com> is a portal server implementing the Java Portlet Specification JSR-286. It can run in a variety of application servers like Tomcat and JBoss and it provides additional features compared to other portlet containers. Please let me know if are interested in developing and maintaining a package of liferay. It will certainly be a lot of work - probably too much for just one maintainer. We would start with packaging it for Debian/contrib (using Tomcat) and Ubuntu would get it through its regular sync from Debian.
I'm using Liferay 5.2 on a daily basis at work so I'll join this packaging effort. Do you want to build a new team or use pkg-java existing infra. ?
I agree with you: this will be a huge task to include Liferay in main (eg Liferay use +140 JAR at runtime) so we might start to upload it to contrib.
IMHO, another important task is to also package Liferay Developpers tools : Liferay SDK (portlets, themes skeleton and scripts), Liferay Extension environnement generator and Liferay Maven Plugin.
