I'm running Debian Sarge. I use Apt-Get or, more usually, Synaptic, to
load applications. I've loaded the following packages:
Python2.3 version: 2.3.5-3sarge1
Python2.3-nevow version: 0.3.0-1
Python2.3-twisted version: 1.3.0-8
Python2.3-zopeinterface version: 3.0.1-1
The only upgrade packages I see when I search via Synaptic are:
Python2.4 version 2.4.1-2
Python2.4-zopeinterface version 3.0.1-1
There are no Python2.4 nevow or twisted upgrades.
When I go to the Twisted download page, all I see are tarballs.
So...
Do I need to go elsewhere to find upgrade files for Debian; e.g. deb
packages?
Or, do I need to use some other method such as tarballs to upgrade (if so,
I'll need a LOT of guidance to put everything in the right place and
properly configure it.)?
Or, am I missing something else entirely?
Once again I seem to bitten by the problem of doc writers assuming that
turkeys like me know more than we do.
If you have subversion installed you can do the following:
- Install ZopeInterface 3.1:
$ wget
http://www.zope.org/Products/ZopeInterface/3.1.0c1/ZopeInterface-3.1.0c1.tgz
$ tar xzvf ZopeInterface-3.1.0c1.tgz
$ cd ZopeInterface-3.1.0c1
$ python setup.py install
- Install Divmod (Which includes Combinator, Axiom, Mantissa, Epsilon, Nevow,
Quotient and many others):
$ cd /usr/src/
$ mkdir Divmod
$ cd Divmod
$ svn co http://divmod.org/svn/Divmod/trunk
- Setup Combinator:
$ echo "`python /usr/src/Divmod/trunk/Combinator/envirnment.py`" >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc
- Activate trunk branch for Divmod repository:
$ cd /usr/src/
$ chbranch Divmod trunk
- Activate trunk branch for Twisted repository
$ chbranch Twisted trunk svn://svn.twistedmatrix.com/svn/Twisted/trunk
Reboot your shell
From now on thanks (or not) to Combinator you'll install libraries in ~/.local/
it's possible to change this although I'm unsure you really want to, IMHO there
should be a env var setting that allows for changing this directory, anyway
this is not very important for this small installation tutorial.
This is the best setup for working with nevow and twisted and divmod. Updating
any of the above packets only requires an svn up in the corresponding directory
(Divmod/trunk for Nevow and Divmod related software, Twisted/trunk for Twisted
Matrix).
In this tutorial /usr/src/ is considered the projects directory.
As for Debian Sarge... Well that's not really the best system for application
development in Twisted since it only contains pretty old versions (for good or
for bad reasons). Probably Debian unstable has the latest versions of all those
but the best choice for a developer of Twisted is Ubuntu Dapper currently. Of
course there's nothing you cannot do in a Debian system that you can do in an
Ubuntu system, it's simply a matter of having to do more manual work rather
than relying to apt (for example in my projects I use lighttpd and my current
hosting provides me only with Ubuntu 5.10 which doesn't have lighttpd packaged
and I had to compile it manually, not too bad if you know how to do it but not
as comfortable as with Ubuntu Dapper).
