On a related note, here is a mail from Owen (01/02/08 from dCache user
forum) on porting dCache to Debian. Of course dCache is Java based so
should in theory be portablier than some of the other things.
On a related (to this) note, does anyone know how to attach messages in
Thunderbird without forwarding it.

Dear All,
Yes, in fact YAIM for dcache was some what inspired in coding style and
layers of abstraction, to become part of a debconf for dcache, you may
notice I have adopteda lot of the debian debconf's style guide, and all
query functions should port easily, releasing debs from dcache this is
on my work list, but Solaris is a higher priority as we believe more of
our users use Solaris (specifically thumpers) than debian, all Linux
distributions * I have tried are all much the same some are just nicer
than others.
Since it is our belief that all linux distributions are similar we did
feel porting installation and configuration management to other
flavours of Linux other than SL3/4 was a priority, rather its an EGEE
wide objective to support debian so dCache will follow. We do not
intend to support the GIP on platforms that it is supporting. At this
moment this means installing GIP only on SL4.
The effort to make dative debian packages will start after we have
started supporting Solaris packaging. Also having made RPM and debain
packages in the past I do believe that RPM is a lot less fiddly than
debian deb packages to maintain, irrespective of my personal feelings of
the end result.
Regards
Owen Synge

over Ubuntu)
