I think it should be possible with 3.22 to have customized indexes for with packages: Bug 12216 - One should be able to override zebra configuration on a per instance basis http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12216 :)
Correct -- I'm not suggesting that the general public should install Koha via git. We should, none-the-less have a current, well documented path for installing via git... after all, that's how we get new developers :-). --Barton On Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 3:51 PM, Chris Cormack <chris@bigballofwax.co.nz> wrote:

Nest, my package patch got in.. I'd completely forgotten about that! Would agree with linking out for docs. I'd have the git install guide under the how to develop categories on the wiki. The story hasn't changed much in years for that install route, I always found it odd having a guide per version. On 16 Nov 2015 9:15 pm, "Barton Chittenden" <barton@bywatersolutions.com> wrote:

It's a nuisance when you're at a site with a restricted internet connection and you go to look at the included documentation and it just refers you to some web site that you can't look at... but as long as the main INSTALL always remains, it's probably OK for INSTALL.debian to just mention that packages are available and point to the internet address where.

That's a good point. Even if each release it was scraped from the wiki page, with a note at the top saying that the preferred method is go to the wiki. That way we get the best of both worlds. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF

And that is why Jonathan jokingly suggested that if the issue is near and dear to my heart he was glad I volunteered to clean up a single source install related page. Sadly, I would rather refactor Koha such that default CentOS, Fedora, and/or Red Hat installs would work. The PDF libraries are a mess, and a part of this problem. And it should be noted, still not volunteering now, but may in the future – no promises (insert Candi’s Love Makes No Promises musical flashback). GPML, Mark Tompsett
I've been dealing with centos a lot at my current job and learning how to make rpms for all our bits. If I had some spare time, what would a minimally useful koha related redhat style something look like? Is it the packaging or the build recipe or both? -reed On 16 November 2016 at 06:51, Mark Tompsett <mtompset@hotmail.com> wrote:

Given that koha is generally installed for production with: sudo apt-get install koha-common (plus the other steps) The ability to: yum install koha-common Because an RPM existed would be nice, plus RPMs for the 18ish (it was around that number last I checked) libraries that are not available in the default CentOS repos. Granted, I do not use CentOS regularly, but I was crazy enough to try non-Debian installs with it and even attempted a native Windows install a while back. Sadly, Windows natively is just too painful to succeed. GPML, Mark Tompsett
Yes... I have some memory now of Lars getting some large set of non-debian packaged dependent products debian packaged before he was able to package up Koha. I'll make some experiments.. -reed On 27 November 2016 at 22:34, Mark Tompsett <mtompset@hotmail.com> wrote:

And, so, actually, I have to wonder if putting together a redhat style installation is a long term good or not. I recall that someone a million years ago made a windows installer for Koha and released it into the wild and so now every few months someone finds it and tries to use it and gets confused. I don't predict being able to support a full on always current redhat collection of packages -- so maybe the world is safer as things stand now? -reed On 27 November 2016 at 23:24, Reed Wade <reed@typist.geek.nz> wrote:

If I had some spare time, what would a minimally useful koha related redhat style something look like? Is it the packaging or the build recipe or both?
Given that koha is generally installed for production with: sudo apt-get install koha-common (plus the other steps) The ability to: yum install koha-common Because an RPM existed would be nice, plus RPMs for the 18ish (it was around that number last I checked) libraries that are not available in the default CentOS repos.
Granted, I do not use CentOS regularly, but I was crazy enough to try non-Debian installs with it and even attempted a native Windows install a while back. Sadly, Windows natively is just too painful to succeed.

Hi Reed,
And, so, actually, I have to wonder if putting together a redhat style installation is a long term good or not.
I think that the best option to start is to see those two documents: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.10_on_Centos_6.3_x86_64_en https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.22_on_Fedora_23 and after to write an Koha_on_Centos_HowTo in which do you explain how to find the missing perl modules and system utilities . A good plus is to write an Ansible task for all the requirements in Centos 7.x for Koha 16.05 and 16.11 Bye Zeno Tajoli
makes sense, yes -reed On 28 November 2016 at 00:58, Zeno Tajoli <z.tajoli@cineca.it> wrote:

Greetings, Reed Wade pondered:

A full koha-common RPM, perhaps not. That would need updating each release. But all the parts (libXXX-perl) that are missing would be good if hosted by the community. Generally the minimum required for a library doesn’t change long term. Reed Wade inquired:
I don't predict being able to support a full on always current redhat collection of packages -- so maybe the world is safer as things stand now?
Providing just the missing pieces to be hosted by the community would never go out of worth, because if the default repos caught up and/or surpassed, they would get used. Zeno Tajoli suggested:

I would think that such a task would also have merit. I suspect that something might be adaptable from ansible script on kohadevbox. GPML, Mark Tompsett
