Install sid NVU package on Sarge system
Hey there, I'm using Debian Sarge. Right now I want to install NVU into my box but I could not get it by apt-cache search nvu. It seems it is only packaged for sid. How can I install it on my pc? Is that possible? Thanks a lot! Rocky

Rocky It is in Etch also, regardless, an install from sid will bring in new libraries, etc, you may not want to go there, esp if you have to ask :-) One way to get NVU is to download the tar.gz ver from the NVU site install to /usr/local with a symlink to /usr/local/bin. This leaves Sarge alone and NVU runs fine from there. -- Greg Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Here is mine: $ apt-cache policy nvu nvu: Installed: 1.0-0bpo1 Candidate: 1.0-0bpo1 Version table: *** 1.0-0bpo1 0 200 http://www.backports.org sarge-backports/main Packages Regards, -- Sridhar M.A. GPG KeyID : F6A35935 Fingerprint: D172 22C4 7CDC D9CD 62B5 55C1 2A69 D5D8 F6A3 5935 Do not use if printed inner seal is broken or missing. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Plese bear with me. Could you tell me how to add the symlink for this package, if that is possible? You can see I'm a newbie with quite limited knowledge. Thanks a ton! Rocky

Thanks a ton! Rocky Rocky, Assuming that you have downloaded the package from the nvu site and saved it to /usr/local/bin this is the rest of the proceedure. ~$ tar -jxvf nvu-1.0-pc-linux2.6.10-gnu.tar.bz2 ~$ ln -s nvu-1.0/nvu ~$ rm nvu-1.0-pc-linux2.6.10-gnu.tar.bz2 (optional) The first command, above, decompresses and unpacks the files from the tar.bz2 archive and will create a new directory under /usr/local/bin called nvu-1.0. It will then put everything into this directory, or further subdirectories of it. The second command creates a link from the executable file nvu in the newly created nvu-1.0 directory. It will put this link in /usr/local/bin, which should be in your path so that simply calling nvu from a command line will find the link, and, through it, the executable file. The third (optional) command, will delete the archive, as it is no longer needed. You could also move it somewhere else, or leave it there. That is up to you and depends on your desires and disk space. NOTE: these comands will need to be executed as root, or by using sudo, fakeroot, or some other way of obtaining root's permissions. NOTE 2: The file name for the archive is what I downloaded and installed back in November. The filename may have changed, in which case you would, of course, need to change it in the tar command, and the rm command. If there IS a new file and if it decompreses into a directory other than nvu-1.0 then you would need to use the actual directory name in th ln command. HTH -- Marc Shapiro No boom today.
