+Debian package of dhis2.  A bit raw round the edges. Tested on ubuntu 9.10.
+
+To build a deb package:
+1.  modify 1st line of Makefile (if necessary) to point at dhis.war to be packaged.
+2.  Update version information in DEBIAN/control
+3.  type 'make clean' to cleanup up any old and temporary files
+4.  type 'make update' to bring in dhis.war and update log4j.properties
+5.  type 'make' to build deb package.
+
+Thats it.  By default hibernate properties is setup to use h2 database in /opt/dhis2/database. This
+can be changed to point to mysql, postgres or what have you.  
+ 
+Logging and othe 'DHIS2_HOME' related stuff happens in /opt/dhis2.
+
+Everything is owned by tomcat user and password files are chmof 600.
+
+Two useful utility make targets are:
+make uninstall - to uninstall the package
+make install - to install the package.
+
+Useful one-liner to do a complete install of latest build (probably should make this a make target):
+'make uninstall; make clean; make update; make; make install'
+
+Apologies to the trendy for using 'make'.  Probably can do the same with maven but life is
+too short :-)

+
+TODO:
+More thoughtful upgrade/purge etc.  
+Automatically handle version info.
