Hi Couchers / Dave Nooby me just managed to install couchdb 1.5 on ubuntu 12.04 on a virtual machine :-)
I started at http://couchdb.apache.org, followed the link to: https://launchpad.net/~couchdb/+archive/stable and then tried a lot of stuff unsuccessfully. Only after I hat dug out the original announcement from Dave here: http://markmail.org/message/wikdmwqgkddg7oha?q=list:org%2Eapache%2Ecouchdb-%2A+ubuntu+ppa did I succeed. It would help linux-noobs like me a lot if you could add the extremely helpful instructions from the announcement either to the couchdb homepage or to https://launchpad.net/~couchdb/+archive/stable Thanks für your great work! Alex
