Koha apt repository -- ALPHA level
I have built some Debian packages for Koha, and configured an apt repository for them at debian.koha-community.org, kindly set up by Galen. Right now, only I can upload packages to the repository, but if that turns out to be a problem, we'll add an upload queue later. This way, we got something to work now. See http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/README for instructions. Note that the repository and the packages are ALPHA level. I have tested them a bit locally, but I do not know if they will work for anyone else. Also, I may have forgotten some important steps from the documentation. Please notify me of any problems, I will attempt to fix them promptly. DO NOT install this on a production server. It will break things. There are two packages: * koha, if you just want a Koha up an running * koha-common, if you want to host several Koha instances Either way, you'll need to do some post-installation configuration. I have not attempted to make the Debian packages configure everything automatically, or to use debconf to ask questions from the user and use the answers to configure things. At least at this stage, I think it is better to go for something simple that works. I have, however, put in some effort to make the packages flexible enough to suit several kinds of installation. Most importantly, I have made it possible to automate the installation by using koha-common and a custom package that provides configuration details for koha-common. I have such a custom package, but it is not currently fit to be shared. However, if there is interest, I would be happy to make a sample package that people can customize. Anyway, I hope that these packages will grow to be useful to the Koha community. PS. For the initial package upload, I had to deviate from the Koha git master branch, but I hope to not do that in the future. I've sent all patches I did to koha-patches.

Hi Lars This is fantastic, let me be the first to offer my grateful thanks for all your work on this. I gave it a go on a virtualbox fresh squeeze install and it got a Koha up and going :) Chris
I can't wait to try this. I'm so excited I could pop. Thanks so much for your work on it. Liz Rea NEKLS On May 26, 2010, at 3:54 AM, Chris Cormack wrote:
