The best way to make Koha an easy install for Ubuntu, rather than producing an ad-hock CD, would be to get it integrated into Debian. Once it is integrated into Debian, installing a basic Koha system would be a simple one line command. Ubuntu base their system on Debian, so after the next Ubuntu release installing on an Ubuntu system would be just as easy.
To integrate Koha into Debian, Koha needs to be packaged by someone. There was previous interest in this (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=186958) but it never got anywhere. I would very much like to see Koha packaged for Debian, and I'm willing to do some work on it.
While I had interest that somebody else would package it I have no resources to do it myself. The best idea to revitalize the idea of packaging it for Debian would be to reopen the big report, keep the bug address and the debian-devel@lists.debian.org in CC and not only me as a single DD. I might consider sponsoring if there is a perfect package but it is definitely not my main focus of interest and I would really prefer if you find another Debian developer, Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
