Thank you again for the information. 1) It turns out we already have some deb packaging scripts: http://svn.openmrs.org/openmrs-contrib/install/packagemanagers/deb/ 2) I am looking into packaging OpenMRS for Debian Med, but first realize I have to _install_ Debian Med. I have read here: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med/ http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMed http://blends.alioth.debian.org/blends/index.en.html but did not actually find a quick guide as to how to _install_ debian med (my main distro is Ubuntu 10.04). Finally, I just decided to install Debian 5 and then install the debian-med? package. However, there does not seem to be such a single package: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=med&searchon=names&suite=stable§ion=all any help appreciated. I am sure new users would benefit as well. 3) I noticed your packages are also provided in Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/~debian-med-packaging/+related-software is this done by a) Debian Med team manually? b) Debian Med team automatically? c) someone else entirely? In other words, would creating a Debian med package also result in a corresponding Ubuntu package, or would this be a separate process? 4) A quickly philosophy question with packaging implications. OpenMRS, to my knowledge, works best with the Sun JDK (there is not a good link for this currently - best is http://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Step+by+Step+Installation+for +Developers but does not mention Sun explicitly). I found sun-java6 packages for Debian. http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=sun-java6&searchon=names&suite=stable§ion=all I noticed they are labeled non-free. My understanding of Debian was always (perhaps incorrectly) that Debian believes in being a completely open-source system (vs, e.g., Ubuntu) Would making OpenMRS depend on non-free packages be unacceptable?
