New DAB for PVE v1.2?

[apmuthu]

Do we need a new version of Debian Application Builder or a mere

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

would suffice?

It would be nice if the SugarCRM, FrontAccounting, eyeOS build files - dab.conf, Application.conf and Makefile - were released (without their application.tar.gz / zip files to conserve space and bandwidth but with links to the application files in their respective development repositories) in the dab-pve-appliances_YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz file.

I dont understand that question. How does dab relate to the PVE version?

It would be nice if the SugarCRM, FrontAccounting, eyeOS build files - dab.conf, Application.conf and Makefile - were released (without their application.tar.gz / zip files to conserve space and bandwidth but with links to the application files in their respective development repositories) in the dab-pve-appliances_YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz file.

Are you willing to provide suppoprt for them?

I'd like to know if Debian Application Builder is dependant on the Host PVE Version. Since in PVE v1.1 which was based on Etch, DAB worked quite well, can we take it that it needs no patch or new version to work with PVE 1.2 which is based on Lenny?

I'd certainly like to provide support for building and installing the said applications. The applications usage support can be obtained from the community forums in the respective application sites.

The need for the build files to be made available is to encourage everyone to tweak and build their own applications and learn from them to build better ones.

I have placed the build files for eyeOS and FrontAccounting on the wiki itself and have updated the build files and the template when the versions changed, including upgrade instructions. I have provided upgrade instructions for the Joomla! and the MediaWiki templates as well, as their build files were available.

Thanks once again for such a wonderful mashup!

dab is not dependent on the PVE host version.

OK, then just send me a patch for dab-pve-appliances (to dietmar@proxmox.com)

The file http://www.chrishonline.com/files/dab-pve-appliances_2009-05-13.tar.gz is now temporarily hosted at chrishonline server and is now about 15 MB. Along with all the existing ones, it contains the build files for
Joomla! v1.5.10-1
eyeOS v1.8.5.0-3
FrontAccounting v2.1.2-1

You may take it and replace the earlier dab-pve-appliances file.
