Very good idea. Let's create a JIRA for this.

Dan, feel like copying and pasting your emails into JIRA so that you get credit for the idea?

Great idea I think. We should probably do the same for Mac OS and, well, Windows too.

Creating and publishing Forge packages for Linux (Fedora, Debian & Ubuntu) would really help boost adoption of Forge, IMO. Telling someone to download an unzip seems simple enough, but there's just something even more elegant about:

sudo apt-get install jboss-forge

or

sudo yum install jboss-forge

(no sudo if you're hip enough, one of those GUIs if your glitzy enough)

I just discovered today that Fedora is trying to make package development easier than ever for Java developers. They've created a plugin for Eclipse [1] that walks you through creating a package, starting from git clone all the way to publish to Bodhi [2] (think of it like Nexus for Fedora, sort of).

This may seem premature, but *trust me*, we want to think about this *well* in advance so that we have some chance of getting into Fedora 17 or 18. (The process for Debian / Ubuntu may go faster).

Btw, this will likely relate, tie into or help drive the JBoss AS7 on Fedora initiative [3].
