[tei-council] Build errors locally, but not on Jenkins

[Martin Holmes]

Hi Sebastian,

The build completes without errors now.

These are good workarounds for my local machine, but when we come to 
create a Jenkins clone, I'll need to get all this working, so I might as 
well have a go now.

My TeX Live packages are 2009-7ubuntu (I'm running Lucid). I see there 
are various ways of installing TeX Live 2010:

http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire.html

but I don't see any sign of a repo or a ppa. Can I just 
download/install, or will that screw up existing packages? Or do you 
think I should just worry about this on the Jenkins clone, and keep my 
desktop setup as it is?

For the Jenkins machine, this is our basic plan:

  -Start with an Ubuntu 10.04 headless server install.

  -Install the Oracle JDK.

  -Install Tomcat (any particular version? Latest? What's in repos?).

  -Install Jenkins from here:
    <http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/>

  -Install Tex Live 2010 from here:
    <http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire.html>

  -Follow these instructions to get a working build setup:

  -???Profit?

I'm pretty sure we'll also have to install some extras (fonts and the 
like), and we'll need all your Jenkins configuration. Is this the right 
way to go, do you think?

Cheers,
Martin
