Hi folks:
I think the best long-term solution for this is to get coot and all of its
non-standard-linux
dependencies into the repositories of the most frequently used linux
distribution systems.
If this isn't possible, then at least create our own repositories for these
packages, so that
they are accessible to debian utilities (for Ubuntu Linux, standard Debian
Linux, etc), and
the other major package management systems.
(For OS X, we use the fink-based debian package management system in three ways:
1. In its official capacity, to build coot and all of its dependencies from
scratch
2. I host (unofficial) repositories for 10.6 and 10.7, so users can install
pre-compiled debian packages
3. I use it to create automatic nightly builds of a "stand-alone" package
).
I am pretty sure Donnie Berkholtz did this for gentoo already.
I think at the very least we should aim to do this for ubuntu already. Is
anyone reading this a maintainer
for ubuntu and/or debian?
