Description: An object/document-oriented database
 MongoDB is a high-performance, open source, schema-free
 document-oriented data store that's easy to deploy, manage
 and use. It's network accessible, written in C++ and offers
 the following features :
 .
    * Collection oriented storage - easy storage of object-
      style data
    * Full index support, including on inner objects
    * Query profiling
    * Replication and fail-over support
    * Efficient storage of binary data including large
      objects (e.g. videos)
    * Auto-sharding for cloud-level scalability (Q209)
 .
 High performance, scalability, and reasonable depth of
 functionality are the goals for the project.

Hi,

I just created Debian package for MongoDB (and PyMongo) and put it in my PPA. Currently it is for Ubuntu 8.04 only but I'm still trying to build for other Ubuntu releases.

https://launchpad.net/~fajran/+archive/mongodb/

The Debian control files are tracked at my GitHub page http://github.com/fajran/mongo/tree/hardy-1.0/debian/ (forked from Kristina's)

kristina, please change xulrunner-dev build-dependency to build mongo db for Ubuntu 8.10+

It actually needs to be xulrunner-1.9.1-dev for 9.*. I've changed it in master (on github: http://github.com/mongodb/mongo).

[Richard M Kreuter (richard-10gen)]

Note: the debian packaging files in the Debian package (which are substantially equivalent to those in upstream's git repository) are sufficient for building the package on Lucid snapshots. If this bug blocks #520610, could this bug be closed?

[Gabe Gorelick (gabegorelick)]

mongodb 1.2 just got into the archive for Lucid (see bug #520610). Can this bug be closed, or are you trying to get 1.3 into Ubuntu as well?

[Spacemonkey (mitch-spacemonkeylabs)]

Morning Gabe,

We've packaged mongodb as mongodb-stable, mongodb-unstable and mongodb-
snapshot. mongodb-unstable is actively in production and I'd really
like to make it into lucid as well. Could we include that package as
well, or is there another way you need us to package 1.3 for Lucid?

Well, once a package is in the archive, it is kind of "frozen" to a certain extent and can only be updated a limited amount [1]. So it is probably better to package unstable and snapshot versions in a PPA [2]. That way, they can be constantly updated. This is the approach taken by a lot of projects, for example the Chromium team has PPAs [3] for daily builds, official betas, and some stuff in between, while only a relatively stable version goes into the archive.

This is where we're at with Debian:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/lucid-changes/2010-March/007787.html

Can we pull from that into Ubuntu? Or do you need us to resubmit new
packages as mongodb-stable, mongodb-unstable and mongodb-snapshot?

Well mongo-stable--if 1.2 is what you mean by stable--has already been pulled into Ubuntu from Debian. It is in the archive under "mongodb" so nothing more needs to be done for that. For unstable and snapshot, like I said before, the preferred way is to not put them in the official archive, but to package them yourself in a PPA. This is because, unlike Debian, Ubuntu doesn't carry unstable, testing, and stable packages separately, there is just one stable branch for each release.

Now, just because your software isn't packaged in the archive doesn't mean no one can get at it. It's actually very easy for anyone who wants to download it to get it from your PPA. The links I posted above should give you all the info you need. Packaging in a PPA also has the added benefit of allowing you to provide easy backports for older releases of Ubuntu, so it does have some benefits.
