We run Oracle XE on two FreeBSD 6.3 machines at work - we've just manually set it up, but are very interested in a port of it. We did the same as you basically - just uncompress it and move the files in place. Regards, -- Rink P.W. Springer - http://rink.nu "Anyway boys, this is America.

I would like to know whether similar efforts have been undergoing and whether people came up with some tips & tricks on this. The goal is not only to add the port into FreeBSD's ports tree but also to eventually convince Oracle (I work for them) to post the package on their official download page.

I've worked on such a port (probably that's what ady is referring to) but kinda' lost my interest in it ($REALLIFE got in the way). I'll try to find it (it was about 80% done) but I'm not sure it survived the clean-up sessions of my tmp/work dir (I don't know why I didn't ci it in our cvs ...). I'll work with Ady if he need help.

I am talking about the Oracle XE package for which Oracle does not offer any commercial support (except for Forum discussions). 2). Usually everything comes down to business cases and business opportunities. So I think we will need to demonstrate a large userbase in order to get attention. I think we should be happy if an Oracle XE FreeBSD package will make it onto the downloads page in the first place. 3) Oracle EE / SE editions are indeed the big guns on the enterprise database market, but until there are some more steps. And Oracle does not use a packaging format for these, OUI (Oracle Universal Installer) is the designated tool to use. Note: The above represent solely my personal opinions, I do not speak on behalf of my employer (Oracle). Regards, Adrian Penisoara ROFUG / EnterpriseBSD.

I can give you one business case: During election observation mission in 2007 an Oracle XE installation I've had (just for test) on my FreeBSD notebook saved my (election) day and allowed me to analyze and verify election results - and this is a Big Thing(tm). > 3) Oracle EE / SE editions are indeed the big guns on the enterprise > database market, but until there are some more steps.

Fortunately XE does not need one at all. There are scripts out there that perform database creation end-to-end and I think they should be included in the port. --Marcin From owner-freebsd-database@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Mar 8 11:09:42 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-database@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9908C1065671 for ; Sat, 8 Mar 2008 11:09:42 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from ady@ady.ro) Received: from wf-out-1314.google.com (wf-out-1314.google.com [209.85.200.171]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 677AD8FC21 for ; Sat, 8 Mar 2008 11:09:42 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from ady@ady.ro) Received: by wf-out-1314.google.com with SMTP id 25so916662wfa.7 for ; Sat, 08 Mar 2008 03:09:41 -0800 (PST) Received: by 10.142.201.3 with SMTP id y3mr1251859wff.1.1204974581801; Sat, 08 Mar 2008 03:09:41 -0800 (PST) Received: by 10.143.37.8 with HTTP; Sat, 8 Mar 2008 03:09:41 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <78cb3d3f0803080309q311301dm3baf6bad2a70b0ac@mail.gmail.com> Date: Sat, 8 Mar 2008 13:09:41 +0200 From: "Adrian Penisoara" Sender: ady@ady.ro To: "Marcin Cieslak" In-Reply-To: <47D1BEAD.2020407@system.pl> MIME-Version: 1.0 References: <78cb3d3f0803070636l38ca7683t24235efd8f989c67@mail.gmail.com> <20080307161415.g9vgql0xcscgkkco@webmail.leidinger.net> <20080307184427.5a005ef9@it.buh.tecnik93.com> <78cb3d3f0803071122s74ef2075p8b5f761dd5e8b0ad@mail.gmail.com> <47D1BEAD.2020407@system.pl> X-Google-Sender-Auth: 04378e06ffdb484e Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.5 Cc: freebsd-database@freebsd.org, freebsd-isp@freebsd.org, freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org, freebsd-ports@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Preparing an Oracle Database XE port/package -- any tips ?

Well, this sort of stories really ought to be told and heard around.

I will be extracting the RPM specs file to form the package installation script. I'm not sure whether the debian scripts have something better.

You need to observe state secrets of a host country plus some special requirements in a highly political environment. I will try my best anyway. > Right.

Go for install.sh on the http://wiki.bsdportal.ru/doc:oraclexe_on_freebsd instead. Worked for me like a charm. (The kernel patches mentioned in the article are already incorporated). --Marcin
