Bug 8489: Revise Ubuntu install files

Description Mark Tompsett 2012-07-21 13:35:37 UTC
This may overlap with bug 8478.

The ubuntu-pkg-chk.sh script hardcoded the use of ubuntu.packages. By using an `lsb_release -r | cut -f2 -d'{tab}'` we can determine the version number of the ubuntu (tested on 10.04 and 12.04). If the user is running on a non-LTS, the script will inform the user and use the latest one, because
NOTE: ubuntu.packages SHOULD ALWAYS BE A COPY OF THE LATEST VERSION!!!

ubuntu.packages became ubuntu.10.04.packages
ubuntu_maverick.packages became ubuntu.10.10.packages
ubuntu.precise.packages became ubuntu.12.04.package (was created from 8488)

This supersedes bug 8488, by renaming ubuntu.precise.packages to ubuntu.12.04.packages and updating the libmysqlclient16 to mylibsqlclient18 and removing the libmysqlclient16-dev. There were no known dependencies in the perl libraries. Feel free to confirm otherwise.

I then copied ubuntu.12.04.packages back to ubuntu.packages after modifications, as the INSTALL.ubuntu install instructions say:
$ sudo dpkg --set-selections < install_misc/ubuntu.packages

The goal of this script is that:
   ./ubuntu-pkg-check.sh | grep none
should produce no output if all dependencies are installed (optional or otherwise).

However, it should be noted that the wiki instructions do not reference the file ubuntu-pkg-check.sh and it is currently only mentioned in the INSTALL.ubuntu.lucid instructions.

The figures generated by:
   # A = 
   $ ./install_misc/ubuntu-pkg-check | wc
   $ ./koha_perl_deps.pl -a
   # and B = the total modules reported number
should have A>=B. And, if the ubuntu packages were installed with dselect, there should be 0 modules listed for:
   $ ./koha_perl_deps.pl -m -u

To the cleanest 3.6.X version install yet! :)

A version of this will also be needed for Master and 3.6.x.
Comment 5 Mark Tompsett 2012-07-21 15:15:09 UTC
Once 3.6.7 is out the door with this, I'll work on a patch for master, but as a separate bug report.

Bug 8489: Revise Ubuntu install files

1) Changed ubuntu-pkg-check.sh to use lsb_release to determine version
   of ubuntu.{version}.packages file. If a versioned file does not
   exist, the user is warned, and ubuntu.packages is used. Told the
   user which file is being used. Caught apt-cache policy errors nicely.
   NOTE: ubuntu.packages MUST BE A COPY OF THE
   LATEST ubuntu.{version}.packages FILE!
2) Moved: ubuntu.packages -> ubuntu.10.04.packages
          ubuntu_maverick.packages -> ubuntu.10.10.packages
          ubuntu.precise.packages -> ubuntu.12.04 packages
             (last file created new, but effectively supersedes bug 8488)
3) Tweaked ubuntu.12.04.packages:
   * changed yaz3 references to yaz4
   * dropped libmysqlclient16-dev
   * changed libmysqlclient16 to libmysqlclient18
4) Copied the ubuntu.12.04.packages file to ubuntu.packages
