note that 9.10 is long _unsupported_. So we should stop doing anything on this release.

However, according to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(operating_system) 8.04 LTS is still supported. So if we care, we should build our software on 8.04 LTS so that it's installable there.

Although Ubuntu supports 8.04 LTS still, we haven't; so we should not start supporting it suddenly in 1.8.0.

Please provide pre-requisites needed to install 1.8.0. These steps need to be provided to MC to be documented as pre-reqs.

Farshid,
Need some new ubuntu 9.10 buildslaves chef'ed up.

There is some way, likely. But it's way too complex.

BTW, for building packages of gpicker I'm using chrooted installation of very old Debian. So my packages work on all more or less recent ubuntus and debians. I don't know if our buildbot herding folks are prepared for such tricks, but it was an easy way for me.

Debian testing started using openssl 1.0 around August, so I suspected that latest ubuntu release (11.10) is using it too. And I am right:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libssl&searchon=names&suite=oneiric&section=all

while 11.04 (one version back) is using 0.9.8:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libssl&searchon=names&suite=natty&section=all

So our packages built on older release will work without any extra compat packages up to 11.04, but will require compat openssl on latest ubuntu release which is 11.10. That's very similar situation that we have on our RHEL5 packages that do not work out of the box on RHEL6 without compat version of openssl.

All that happens because openssl transition from 0.9.8 to 1.0 also did change of API (and ABI). It's possible to install both versions because they have different suffix after .so, but distros by default install only newer one.

Best fix is to build two sets of packages both for .deb and for .rpm. One for older openssl (RHEL5 and Ubuntu up to 11.04) and one for later openssl (RHEL6, latest Fedora's, Amazon Linux and Ubuntu 11.10 and later).

9.10 was no longer officially supported platform for 1.8.0? If so, can close/resolve this bug?

couchbase server 1.8 installation works fine out of the box on ubuntu 10.04 because server does not depend on openssl anymore
