=Current state=
We just started porting Amahi to Ubuntu. The support is highly experimental. There are a few important things to be fixed before you can run it with minimal tweaking. Please don't try it on a production server yet. We are using Ubuntu 912.04 LTS (jauntyPrecise Pangolin) Desktop 32 bit for development. We strongly recommend you to use the same for experiments. You can download this version from [http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download here].
=Requirements=
You may want to have two different installations of Ubuntu.
* A development platform, running Ubuntu 912.04 LTS Desktop 32 bit and/or 64 bit with the recommended development packages installed.* An Amahi sandbox, running Ubuntu 912.04 LTS Desktop 32 bit '''preferably''' under [http://www.virtualbox.org/ VirtualBox].
Please don't install the Amahi packages on the development platform as this might break your networking.
=Setting up the development platform=
# Install Ubuntu 912.04 LTS Desktop 32 bit.
# Install essential build toolchain.
## sudo apt-get update
## sudo apt-get install build-essential## sudo apt-get install devscripts## sudo apt-get install debhelper## sudo apt-get install fakeroot## sudo apt-get install lintian# Install git. # sudo aptitude install reprepro git-core
# Read [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete Ubuntu packaging guide] to get an idea of other additional packages that you may want to install to create Ubuntu packages. I will list the packages to make your part easier at a later point.
=Setting up the Amahi sandbox=
# Install [http://www.virtualbox.org/ Sun VirtualBox]. # sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose
# Open VirtualBox and create a new guest platform for Ubuntu and install Ubuntu 912.04 LTS Desktop 32 bit.# Install VirtualBox guest additions in your Amahi sandbox.# sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-utils (do this inside your virtual machine!)
# Setup VirtualBox folder sharing between your development platform and Amahi sandbox.
 
Of course you can also download virtualbox from the virtualbox website and install the guest additions from the virtual CD with these additions (select install guest additions from the menu to mount the CD).
=Amahi source code=
On your development platform, download Amahi source code from our git repository. Follow these steps to build Ubuntu packages. Update Changelog 1. If you are repackaging for a newhttp# git clone git://bugsgit.amahi.org/issues/show/487 version Run dch -v with the version number currently in the makefileamahi. Where you run the command depends on if you are changing hdactl or hda-platformgit*Follow these steps to build Ubuntu packages. # cd deb/ubuntu/karmic/hdactl OR # cd deb/ubuntu/karmic/hda-platform  # dch -v <version number>
Add # After downloading the changes that you made source, navigate to the system. If you are just updating for a new version state so.  If you are not changing the version number run dch -a. Where you run the command depends on if you are changing hdactl or hda-platform. # cd deb/ubuntu/karmic/hdactl OR # cd debdirectory (/ubuntutrunk/karmic/hda-platform).  # dch -a NOTE: If you are just building a .deb for your own testing Navigate to the package you can just run make deb or continue wish to step 2.  2. To build (hdactl package, change to 'or platform/hdactl' directory and run 'make deb').  # cd platform/hdactl # rm (if appropriate) run "dch -rf hdactl-hupi" to edit the changelog if you have made changes # rm -rf platform/hdactl/release # run "make deb   NOTE: The removing of hdactl-hup is only needed if it is present.  You will find " to compile the .deb file generated under platform/hdactl/releasepackages directory. NOTE: For ease of use use gdebi # run "debuild" to install.  3. To build hdacreate binary packages or "debuild -platform package, change S" to 'platform/platform' directory and run 'make deb'.  # cd platform/platform # make deb  You will find the .deb file generated under platform/platform/release directorycreate source packages.
=Architecture differences=
*No /etc/sysconfig folder. Instead, configuration is scattered all over the place.
*Requires copying the functions library required by several shellscripts (but works fine)
=Post install gotchas (asp's notes)=
= Known Bugs =
*Debian control script for platform may be missing some dependencies. [http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/show/487 bug 487]*Passenger does not install see Considerations [http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/show/483 bug 483]*HDACTL init scripts do not work Check out our project at [http://bugs.amahi.org/issuesprojects/show/484 bug 484ubuntu our bugtracker]
=Considerations=
Instead of using FastCGI, perhaps package Amahi with capability to use Ubuntu'*<s native phusion passenger (aka mod_rails) package. Add the following line to >Apache mod_passenger</s> This has been implemented in the Third Party Software Sources:  deb http://apt.brightbox.net hardy main (The simplest way to do that installer since it is to create a file now in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ containing the deb instruction, and then run 'apt-get update')default repositories. Once you've done this then you can install Phusion Passenger by running:  apt-get install libapache2-mod-passenger
