Hi Lars and Ola,

I think it would be possible, but I have no time this week. I will be
in Dushanbe next week, and will have some more time to devote to this
over the weekend, and likely when I am there. Knut has sent me the
source for the installer that he did a few years back, which is a
Postgres-Tomcat installer and they should be able to be reused, and
incldued in the maven framework that I already constructed for the
automated build.

The key problem is the Postgres install. It is possible to do it with
an unattended installation, but I have not yet tried this. There are
just so many permutations and installation on Vista is non-trivial due
to administrative rights.

Write a blueprint, and I will see what I can do. I will have a lot of
time on different planes over the weekend, so I may be able to do
something.

As for Tomcat, I am not sure really what the point of it is? It is a
real requirement? If we can get DHIS2 live installed, with Postgres,
this should cover the "desktop market". Is there a real need to have
an installer, and if so, would it need to install Tomcat? This is
really not a big deal, but I am just not sure it is really necessary.
Blueprint Ola?


Regards,
Jason
