Hi,

I've packaged the dependencies for OpenGuides that weren't already in Debian (testing/unstable). You can make use of an apt repository of them by putting the line

deb http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/debian/openguides/ unstable/

in /etc/apt/sources.list.

OpenGuides itself isn't yet packaged, but I will be working on preparing a package of it in the next week or so. In the meantime, you should find that everything else should be available, so I would be grateful if Debian users running sarge or sid could test these packages.

The following command should result in all dependencies of OpenGuides (0.41) being installed:

# apt-get update

# apt-get install libdbd-pg-perl # OR # apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl # OR # apt-get install libdbd-sqlite-perl

# apt-get install libalgorithm-diff-perl libcgi-wiki-perl \ libcgi-wiki-formatter-usemod-perl libcgi-wiki-plugin-categoriser-perl \ libcgi-wiki-plugin-diff-perl libcgi-wiki-plugin-geocache-perl \ libcgi-wiki-plugin-locator-uk-perl libcgi-wiki-plugin-rss-modwiki-perl \ libcgi-wiki-plugin-rss-reader-perl libconfig-tiny-perl libfile-spec-perl \ libgeography-nationalgrid-perl libwww-perl libmodule-build-perl \ libparse-recdescent-perl libsearch-invertedindex-perl libtemplate-perl \ libtest-mockobject-perl libtime-piece-perl liburi-perl libxml-rss-perl

Once you have done this you should be able to download OpenGuides and manually install it by following the instructions in INSTALL.

This testing is best done on a vanilla sarge/sid system, but especially one that hasn't had any openguides-related stuff installed on it before.

Comments welcome, either to the list or me personally. You can if you wish add to

http://openguides.org/dev/?node=Debian%20Package%20Bug%20Tracking

but if you do please email me to let me know you have done so.

Have fun!

Dominic.
