argument for splitting out the Web bits as a separate package as well;
for a multi-server install, you probably won't want to install the Web
on each server.
Ah, yes, the web bits would be a good one to split off, as that
removes quite a few dependencies if they're not needed.
Are you aiming at getting the packages accepted into the official
distro repositories? It would be great to document this understanding
for the future (particularly if there are clear TODOs to get to the
point of having the packages accepted by the distros). Also, let us
know if there are things that we can do that would reduce the work
required to build packages.
Getting the packages officially accepted is the best outcome, but I
don't know how doable it is. I will defineitely start talking to the
Debian/Fedora people over the next few weeks to see what we can do in
this direction.
I'm sure that server space can be arranged - we can poke the server
admins on #evergreen to lobby for an account for you on one of the
machines.
Thanks, that's sorted now. I've uploaded an iso[4]. The linux account
is opensrf/opensrf and the evergreen account is admin/livecd. I've
been mostly testing it using unetbootin[5] to load it onto a usb
stick. Ultimately, I hope for it to fit onto a single CD, but atm I
still have another 18MB to shave off before it does.

Has anyone created one in the interim?
