Yes, it is. If you install Wt from the Wt PPA you can be sure no other package will be installed. With the old PPA, any other packages present in my PPA would be also installed. The Wt PPA means no pollution of your system anymore. >> The Wt PPA contains only the essential packages required to install Wt >> on a basic system.

See "Adding this PPA to your system" at https://launchpad.net/~pgquiles/+archive/wt (link number 2 in the original e-mail :-) Essentially, it boils down to adding "ppa:pgquiles/wt" to your Software Sources (if using Ubuntu >= 9.10), or adding these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list (valid for any Ubuntu version): deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pgquiles/wt/ubuntu lucid main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/pgquiles/wt/ubuntu lucid main Replace 'lucid' with your version (hardy, jaunty, karmic, lucid, maverick) if using anything else. For Debian Lenny, packages are available from my OpenSuse Build Repository. The line for /etc/apt/sources.list is: deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pgquiles:/Wt/Debian_5.0 ./ BTW: - Just in case you want the Wt PPA to be more "official": we can make Wt PPA a standalone repository and give you (and the other EmWebbies) upload and administrative permissions. That would allow you to upload, provide patches, answer to bugs, etc (no obligation) - There is some interesting stuff about configuring Apache and FastCGI on Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BuildingWtFromSource - Is it OK to add that to the wiki? -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ witty-interest mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/witty-interest
