## Package-oriented install for ubuntu.
Here are some scripts to install diaspora on Ubuntu. They are designed to
work as a first step towards packaging, but should be usable as is.
### Synopsis
Bootstrap the distribution from git:
git clone git://github.com/diaspora/diaspora.git
cd diaspora/pkg/ubuntu
Install the dependencies (a good time for a coffe break)
./diaspora-install-deps
Create and install the diaspora bundle and application:
./make-dist.sh bundle
sudo ./diaspora-bundle-install dist/diaspora-bundle-*.tar.gz
./make-dist.sh source
sudo ./diaspora-install dist/diaspora-0.0*.tar.gz
Initiate and start the server;
sudo ./diaspora-setup
sudo su - diaspora
cd /usr/share/diaspora/master
./script/server
### Notes
The application lives in /usr/share/diaspora/master. All writable areas
(log, uploads, tmp) are links to /var/lib/diaspora. The config file lives
in /etc/diaspora. All files in /usr/share are read-only, owned by root.
The bundle lives in /usr/lib/diaspora-bundle, readonly,owned by root.
Application finds it through the patched .bundle/config in root dir.
The user diaspora is added during install.
The 'make-dist-source' prints a message about the version of the bundle
it needs. Normally, it doesn't change and it's a fast procedure to generate
and install the source tarball. Generating the bundle takes some time, though.
make-dist.sh accepts arguments to get a specified commit and/or use another
repo.
This has been tested on a Ubuntu 32-bit 10.10 , clean server. Since this
is a very small dist, the dependencies should possibly be complete.
The diaspora-wsd is just placeholder FTM, it does **not** work.
Please, report any problems!
