| Description |
|
The Linux packages should be split into multiple packages rather than one monolithic package. Other databases in Debian follow this model. For example: Use case: A site wants to have a fleet of mongo machines without servers installed, only client libraries and tools. Installing the existing package necessitates the server installation and its burdens (mongodb user, storage path, etc.) |

I think this can be helpful for any who uses centos (it's made for v6.2): https://github.com/mlazarov/centos-spec/blob/master/SPECS/mongodb.spec This .spec file makes four packages: Also mongodb.spec makes needed init.d and config scripts. |

Once mongos works as a general proxy (for a remote mongod, or replicaset) it can be deployed as part of the client connectivity. For things that don't have support for connection pooling (cgi, node.js, etc.), dumb drivers which aren't so aware of master/non-master nodes, or to delegate slave-ok queries to non-masters it would be handy to have on the client, without requiring mongod (or the mongodb startup scripts which come with the server package). |

I think a separate package for mongos might be ok, though I'm not sure why it wouldn't be ok in the server package? |

Can we put mongos into both the server and clients packages? Maybe it is better as a sep. package (that the server package depends on, but not the clients). |

And the packages are: mongodb-server (the server) |

The package has passed Debian's NEW queue and should be on Debian sid tomorrow. The Debian mongodb repo is here: |

That is definitely the intention. I think we're gonna do that once it makes it through the first phases of the Debian process. I'll make a fork on github... probably all will be ready by the end of weekend. |

Is is possible to push the changes back into our repo so we can start doing that everywhere? |

There has been some progress on this ticket. Roberto split out the packages, Antonin reviewed and submitted the packages to Debian. |

That would be great. Would love to be able to get versions pushed up sooner. |

We use Ubuntu. However, when we do packaging work we do it at the Debian level so that all the derivatives get the love. It's like an open-source group hug We are already working on it and will update you (probably with patches) in a week or two. We are also asking the existing Debian maintainer if he'd mind a co-maintainer. |

Are you using debian or ubuntu, or? |

I think this change makes sense. If you can help would make it happen much faster. |

We maintain and sponsor many Debian packages. If you are on-board with this, we can help implement this change. |
