This mainly has an effect on the size of the javadocs package (i2p-doc shrinks
to half of its present size when using bzip2). xz would give better
compression, of course, but xz support isn't isn't available in the version of
dpkg that ships with Lucid. All supported versions of Debian and Ubuntu support
bzip2 in .debs, so this will only have the impact of giving us smaller javadoc
packages.
Before there was a patch to add the -deb1 to the RouterVersion.java file, but
it needed me to update the deb#. With my newly budding regex skills, I'm now manipulating
it using sed and determining the number according to the debian version number.
This commit splits the i2p package into a second package, i2p-router.
* The new 'i2p-router' package does not depend on the java-wrapper nor jbigi.
Jbigi is recommended. This package can be installed on the ports or
distributions that the java-wrapper is not available for.
* The new 'i2p' package depends on i2p-router, libjbigi-jni, and the java-wrapper.
This package will add the i2psvc system user and the initscript. Existing
users of the i2p package will have the i2p-router package pulled in
automatically and for them there will be no usability changes.
Executive summary: No functionality changes will take place for either those
that installed the i2p package in the past or those that
install the newly split i2p package. For them, "The Song
Remains the Same."
This sets i2p up as a functional Debian source package. dpkg-buildpackage
will build i2p using ant preppkg (tarball takes too long and not
helpful). It creates a binary .deb archive of the i2p installation,
which when installed goes into /var/lib/i2p as the non-root user i2p,
and adds an /etc/init.d script to start it up.
Some problems not yet solved:
1) under Debian the conf should go into /etc/i2p, but since it doesn't
things like the eepsite index file get overwritten if you reinstall.
should check for those somehow and not replace them, or ask the user.
2) under Debian they like it if you split the generated data from the
static code, so i2p should go into /usr/lib/i2p maybe, but its
netDB and any other cache files into /var/cache/i2p
that's important not just for organization, but also /var is often
on a filesystem optimized for churn. For now just put it in /var/lib
3) i2p is supposedly architecture independant, but it does choose a
native jbigi library on postinstall, so does that really count
as architecture independant?
