I want to run RT 4.2.x on Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty). Ubuntu utopic,
which is not yet released, <a
href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/request-tracker4">includes
RT 4.2.4</a>. I don't see any backports to 14.04 (trusty), which
runs 4.0.19:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/request-tracker4">http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/request-tracker4</a><br>
<br>
Questions:<br>
<ol>
<li>Does 14.04/trusty's dpkg (ie, pre-packaged) install of 4.0.19
offer me benefits towards an install of 4.2.x? Possibly as an
upgrade path? (eg: trusty's apt-get install of RT 4.0.19
installs a -long- list of package dependencies. I'm wondering
if this will save me a bunch of work over #3, below?)<br>
</li>
<li>Are there any trust backports of RT 4.2.x available for me to
download?</li>
<li>Should I just skip all of the above and install from the 4.2.6
source/tarball?</li>
<li>Can some combination of #1 and #3 (getting #1 to handle all
the dependencies, #3 to install the actual core binaries/etc)
possibly help me?<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p><br>
I have a relatively-seasoned team to sysadmin the install for #3
and maybe #4, but I'm trying to leverage the "Ubuntu
package/dependency" magic for #1 or #2, if I can.<br>
</p>
<p>I'm seeking comments from RT server admins with experience on
Ubuntu or Debian, preferably on Ubuntu 14.04/trusty.<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for any help.<br>
