[Gnumed-devel] gnumed-server

[Sebastian Hilbert]

Really nice work.

gnumed-serverv9 ist out. What does this mean ? You can get a fully configured 
GNUmed client and server installation in no time.

I just booted up the live CD, opened '/etc/apt/sources.lst' and added the line

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian experimental main 

The file was then saved. One can now run 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get install 
gnumed-server'. This step takes care of dependencies and copies all needed 
files to the corresponding directories. 

The shell scripts (yes this still uses the bootstrapper) are copied 
to '/var/lib/gnumed/server/bootstrap'

So issue 'cd /var/lib/gnumed/server/bootstrap' to change into that directory. 
from there run './bootstrap-latest.sh'

Running as root the complete bootstrap process went in one go. No yes/no 
questions no multiple password prompts. Nice. And the best of all it worked.

There is always room for improvement.
1.) it would be useful to symlink the bootstrap-latest.sh script and 
upgrade_db.sh to /usr/bin.

2.) It can be discussed if a postinstallation script should invoke the 
bootstrapper as root and bootstrap a database so there is no messing with the 
cmd shell.

Overall. Nice work Andreas and Karsten
BTW. For the Live-CD I will try to change from restoring a database dump to 
using the server package.
