Hello all,

I'd like to ask this list if anyone is interested in packaging MongoDB for Fedora EPEL. From http://www.mongodb.org/:

---- The best features of document databases, key/values stores, and RDBMSes in one.

Mongo (from "humongous") is a high-performance, open source, schema- free document-oriented database. MongoDB is written in C++ and offers the following features:

• Collection oriented storage: easy storage of object/JSON -style data • Dynamic queries • Full index support, including on inner objects and embedded arrays • Query profiling • Replication and fail-over support • Efficient storage of binary data including large objects (e.g. photos and videos) • Auto-sharding for cloud-level scalability (currently in alpha) • Commercial Support Available

A key goal of MongoDB is to bridge the gap between key/value stores (which are fast and highly scalable) and traditional RDBMS systems (which are deep in functionality). ----

MongoDB is licensed under the AGPL.

This page has some information about building MongoDB on Fedora: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Building+for+Linux

The debian directory in the source tree contains things like an init.d script, which might be of help: http://github.com/mongodb/mongo/tree/master/debian/

I believe MongoDB would be a very nice addition to Fedora EPEL.

Thanks,

Nils Breunese.
