Hi. just to say that I managed to get evo 2.4 running on evol by tweaking and using ubuntu libgal packages. That was just before I found out that my home sarge server got hacked :(
For those who want to perform the operation, here's a short and long description: - download ubuntu's packages for libgal-2.4 - unpackage - tweak control file - repackage - install If you screw up, you can downgrade doing apt-get install libgal2.4-common=2.4.3-1.1 libgal2.4-0=2.4.3-1.1 Detailed install: wget ubuntu_mirror_repos/..../libgal2.4-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb wget ubuntu_mirror_repos/..../libgal2.4-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb Then mkdir -p libgal-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386/DEBIAN dpkg-deb -x libgal2.4-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb libgal-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386 dpkg-deb -e libgal2.4-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb libgal-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386/DEBIAN/ vi libgal-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386/DEBIAN/control // change names and references from libgal2.4 to libgal // add a Replaces: libgal2.4-0 dpkg -b libgal-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386/ libgal-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb mkdir -p libgal-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386/DEBIAN dpkg-deb -x libgal2.4-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb libgal-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386 dpkg-deb -e libgal2.4-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb libgal-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386/DEBIAN/ vi libgal-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386/DEBIAN/control // change names and references from libgal2.4 to libgal // add a Replaces: libgal2.4-common dpkg -b libgal-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386/ libgal-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb dpkg -i libgal-common_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb libgal-0_2.5.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb install the experimental packages. Voila. Hope that helped. Now I've got to check my server. Jerome
