-<h4>Installing using packages</h4>
-<p>Refer to the <a href="download.html">download</a> to see how to download the tracker-packages for your favourite distribution. Here we display only how the tracker packages are organized.</p>
+<h4>Binary repositories</h4>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Michael Biebl, a Debian maintainer for Tracker, has created a
+ <a href="http://www.michaelbiebl.de/debian/dists";>repository</a> whose packages have
+ been digitally signed with this <a href="http://www.michaelbiebl.de/biebl.asc";>GPG key</a>.
+ Download the key and import it into apt using:</p>
+ <div class="terminal">sudo apt-key add biebl.asc</div>
+ </li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p><strong>Debian Sid</strong> (x86 arch) - add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list</p>
+ <div class="terminal">deb http://debs.michaelbiebl.de/ unstable main</div>
+ </li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p><strong>Ubuntu Feisty</strong> (x86 arch) - available in Universe.</p>
+ </li>

-<p>Every distribution has its own way to pack tracker, however you can recognise two main part:</p>
-
+<h4>Debian-based distros OR non-x86 Debian and Ubuntu systems</h4>
<ul>
- <li><strong>tracker</strong> -- Usually this one has no dependencies related to a Desktop Enviroment and is the "desktop agnostic part". This basicly means you can install on KDE/XFCE/Fluxbox/* without installing any GNOME-related dependecies.</li>
- <li><strong>tracker-search-tool</strong> -- the Graphical User Interface to search using tracker. This has GNOME-dependencies</li>
+ <li>
+ <p>Add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list:</p>
+ <div class="terminal">deb-src http://debs.michaelbiebl.de/ dapper main</div>
+ </li>
</ul>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Download the build-dependancies:</p>
+ <div class="terminal">sudo apt-get build-dep tracker</div>
+ </li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Compilation:</p>
+ <div class="terminal">sudo apt-get source -b tracker</div>
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h4>Gentoo</h4>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Tracker is now included in portage. To install, run:</p>
+ <div class="terminal">emerge tracker</div>
+ </li>
+</ul>
-<p>We want to keep the indexer free from any specific dependences related to a particular Desktop Enviroment.</p>
+<h4>Binary Installation</h4>
-<p>As example we write how to install using a Debian/Ubuntu system</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Installation of the indexer and CLI search tool on Debian/Ubuntu system:</p>
+ <div class="terminal">apt-get install tracker tracker-utils</div>
+ </li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Installation of the indexer and GUI search tool(s) on Debian/Ubuntu system:</p>
+ <div class="terminal">apt-get install tracker tracker-utils tracker-search-tool libdeskbar-tracker</div>
+ </li>
+</ul>
<ul>
- <li><div class="terminal">apt-get install tracker tracker-utils</div> to install the indexer and the command line</li>
- <li><div class="terminal">apt-get install tracker tracker-utils tracker-search-tool libdeskbar-tracker</div> to install the Gnome GUI and the deskbar handler.</li>
+ <li><strong>tracker</strong> -- Usually this one has no dependencies related to a Desktop Enviroment and is the "desktop agnostic part". This basically means you can install on KDE/XFCE/Fluxbox/* without installing any GNOME-related dependecies.</li>
+ <li><strong>tracker-search-tool</strong> -- The GNOME-dependent GUI search tool.</li>
+ <li><strong>libdeskbar-tracker</strong> -- Tracker Deskbar support.</li>
