Rubén Pérez Vázquez commented on MH-7434:
-----------------------------------------
I copy my comment from the 3rd Party installation QA test issue:
Debian was included alongside Ubuntu in all the prerequisite checking and the
other OS-dependant choices and the results were:
- There was a missing dependence with the command "xz". The scripts didn't
check whether the library "xz-utils" was installed for Ubuntu (I assume because
it already is by default), so, this had to be added for Debian. Besides, the
package xz-utils is present in the standard repositories for the "Sid"
(unstable) version, but not for the Lenny (stable) version. The "backports"
repository had to be added to sources.list in order for that library to be
available for Lenny. However, this is normal because Lenny is quite an old
version (Debian takes a very long time to release stable versions), and it's
perfectly normal if we recommend Debian unstable for Matterhorn.
- I believe there are (but this wasn't really tested) still unchecked
dependences with zip, byacc, zlib and zlib-dev . Not a big deal anyway.
- After that was fixed, the 3rd party tools for windows compiled with no
issues.
Therefore, Matjaz, I believe you can safely include Debian, basically copying
the same configuration as Ubuntu and adding additional checks for the
dependencies indicated in the second item above. I also believe that we
shouldn't try to support Debian Lenny (by adding the lenny-backports repository
when xz-utils is not present), because the Sid version will become stable any
time soon and it's quite easy to enable the "lenny-backports" -or installing
the package alone- manually.
