Hello Guys,
I am quite new to clojure, and I am a fan. It's a great thing. One thing
that seems missing, however, is a single unified way of setting up the
clojure environment. Which seemed pretty daunting to me at first.
So I have decided to create a Linux Distro specifically for Clojure
development.
I have been bouncing this idea in #clojure and it got a good response. So
now I have started the complete development effort.
My plan so far is as follows.
Mission Statement for the Distro
The distro should be able to:
- Connect to internet.
- Be able to convert itself into An VM/Iso/LiveCD etc
- Have all IDEs for Clojure installed and preconfigured.
- Eclipse
- Vim
- Emacs
- Netbeans
- Have a ready to play connection to clojure forums and channels
- Have at-least one book on clojure programming on board
- Have following clojure specific features
- It should have leiningen installed and configured
- It should have a local repo of all current clojure plugins
- It should have a local "cloud" on which you can deploy web apps
easily
- it should have REPLlabs on baord and configured
- Have Clojure specific branding
The packages that are needed absolutely:
- OpenJDK 1.7.0
- Leiningen
- Clojure
- Eclipse
- Vim
- Emacs 24
- Netbeans
- Emacs Starter kit
- CCW plugin for eclipse
- Firefox/Chrome
- A local webserver
- Postgresql
- LXDE/XFCE
- Gwibber/Other Social network Client
- xchat
- irssi
- git
- Regular packages for system functioning.
I am still open to ideas. I intend to roll it as a complete distro, so I
will love any and all input.
For now, the specific things I need input for are:
- Who/How to create the art for branding.
- Any packages that are missing from the above listing.
- Any suggestions for the overall functioning.
I will soon have an actual website set up.
It is my intention to create a fully functional, independent Development
environment for Functional programmers by release 2. Right now, I am
working on release 0.0.1.
Looking forward to all input.
regards.
