Advanced notice :
We will be upgrading wiki.geant.org from the current version of Confluence Server to the current LTS version 8.5. During the maintenance window we expect that there will be an outage of 20 minutes.
Maintenance start time: 22/10/2024 16:00 UTC. Maintenance end time: 22/10/2024 18:00 UTC.
It is good practise to stick with the distro provided packages because this greatly enhances system maintenance and updates/upgrades.
However, there are cases when the version doesn't cut it. An important service might require it, or a specific local policy demands a certain patch.
If you're going to create custom software, chances are that you need to install it on multiple systems. That's why it is a good idea to distribute and manage them using the same tool as the distro: apt-get. We keep a repository of our custom Ubuntu software packages at http://ubuntu.terena.net.
When creating your own versions, you are responsible for updating the packages and the repository.
Since this can happen very infrequently, I detailed the steps the steps to (re)create the packages and the repository below.
