Hello, I've prepared the packages to install web2py in Debian or other Linux Debian derivatives (as Knoppix, Ubuntu, Linex, etc.)
The packages are available at: http://people.debian.org/~jredrejo/web2py/lenny/ for old releases with python 2.5 as default python version. http://people.debian.org/~jredrejo/web2py/squeeze/ for new releases with python 2.6 or 2.7 Two packages are available: python-gluon: with web2py libraries, needed to server web2py applications using Apache or other web werver python-web2py (depending on python-gluon) : with web2py rocket server and admin, welcome and example applications. After installed, if a desktop environment (like KDE or Gnome) is used, web2py can be run from the menu->development branch. This will launch a gui to start the server, and the applications will be stored in $HOME/web2py If web2py is launched from a terminal, the application will be stored in the directory where it's launched from (whenever write permissions are allowed, if not it will be done again at $HOME/web2py) A README.Debian is also installed at /usr/share/doc/web2py-gluon/ with more details on running or installing web2py applications in Debian based distributions, including documentation and an example configuration file to use Apache. My plan is uploading these packages to Debian at the end of this week if nobody complains with bugs, so I ask help to all the Debian/Ubuntu users in this group to test it and tell me their opinion. Regards José L.
