Hi all,

today I finished some Debian packaging.

Before I search for an official sponsor to get the package included to Debian, I would like to have it tested by some brave Ubuntu/Debian users out there. It would be nice to get some feedback if the package works for you.

You can find the package on

http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/debian/index.php

It provides:

$ apt-cache show basex Package: basex Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: database Installed-Size: 2260 Maintainer: Alexander Holupirek alex@holupirek.de Architecture: all Version: 6.5-1 Depends: java-wrappers Description: XML database and XPath/XQuery processor BaseX is a very fast and light-weight, yet powerful XML database and XPath/XQuery processor, including support for the latest W3C Full Text and Update Recommendations. It supports large XML instances and offers a highly interactive front-end (basexgui). Apart from two local standalone modes, BaseX offers a client/server architecture. . The package provides following commands: * basexgui ....... Standalone local XML database. Graphical User Interface (GUI) mode. Includes data visualizations and XQuery editor. * basex .......... Standalone local XML database. Command line mode. * basexserver .... XML database server * basexclient .... XML database client Homepage: http://basex.org

Getting it to work could involve steps such as:

$ wget http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/debian/basex_6.5-1_all.deb $ sudo dpkg -i basex_6.5-1_all.deb $ man basex $ basex -q 19+23 42 $ basexgui

Getting rid of it:

$ sudo dpkg --purge basex

Thx, Alex

Hi Christian I am looking forward to see the Debian APT for BaseX. This might easy deployment to wider community and of course to all of us.

Thanks in advance

2011/2/6 Christian Grün christian.gruen@gmail.com Hi there,

to all of you working with Maven: we've just moved our Maven repository to the basex.org domain. The new address is:

http://files.basex.org/maven

We've also updated the Maven artifacts in our documentation:

http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Maven

Next, we're currently working on automating the Maven deployment to guarantee that the latest snapshots can be integrated in your projects as well. And, last but not least, BaseX will soon be available via Debian and APT.
