# flybase-ng server installation notes
# alpha 2 release; may03, d.gilbert
#

This flybase-ng system is designed for automatic installation
and updates of flybase and other genome information servers.

Server packages are (mostly) at rsync://flybase.net/biodb
Web notes are at  http://flybase.net/ng/
Installation of a full FlyBase or other server will
require several gigabytes of disk space.
  
Some of these hosts have this server running
  http://cricket.bio.indiana.edu:8081/   -- solaris
  http://flybase.bio.indiana.edu:8081/   -- solaris
  http://chervil.bio.indiana.edu:8081/   -- linux
  http://marmot.bio.indiana.edu:8081/    -- macosx

INSTALL STEPS (old, by-hand):  
1. 
To install, see install/rsync.run document (still rough),
basically this,
  rsync -n -avuz rsync://flybase.net/biodb /bio/biodb
but need to set system-local and other parts by-hand
 
2.
The default /bio/biodb root path is easiest to use for now.
Otherwise, see install/changeroot script.

3.
Run install/webstart to start web server

1b.
FlyBase packages are split in separately located parts
(most are Gigabyte sized):
