Are there plans to provide a DEB package for Appian for LINUX with a temporary license file built-in?

Then we could simply either yum / apt-get / apt deploy the engine in minutes - plus updates would be automatic and dependent components also retrieved.

And of course there are already the DEB packages for Wildfly / JBOSS, MySQL, PicketBox and PhpMyAdmin so these can install directly - assuming they are not already there - and of course use those packages own configuration consoles to align with what Appian needs for users et al.

This would dramatically simplify installation.

Eduardo, not sure we are looking at same thing. The current Appian download and configure.sh would morph into a new debian compatible package. So if there are no licensing issues with the current download - same would apply to new debian package. Now if you wanted control over who can access the ppa: repository resource - that is already enabled - you can control that via the key certificate mechanism. Right now you are using access to forum to control the downloads - this be similar - people would need to request a cert to enable the ppa: access.

The debian release packaging brings tons more value, ability to restore, reinstall, uninstall, update, dependency checking, that are completely missing from the current configure.sh
