Purpose

This small project provides a way to build a Debian package of the selenium-server jar file. This is useful if you want to roll out selenium-server on your infrastructure via Debian repositories.

The build process will automatically download the selenium-server jar file from Google code and put it into a binary Debian package. The symlink /var/lib/selenium/selenium-server.jar will generated and points to the actual selenium-server file, so you can use /var/lib/selenium/selenium-server.jar in your startup/init script without worrying about the selenium-server version too much.

How to build

To build the Debian package just use the common way for Debian package builds. If you don't know what this is about, you might just want to run:

% fakeroot debian/rules binary

Adjust selenium-server version

Edit the configuration file CONFIG and point the version variable to the selenium-server version you want to use. Do not forget to adjust debian/changelog accordingly (preferably using the dch tool).
