[Koha-devel] Status of Debian and Koha

[Vincent Danjean]

  Hi,

  I'm pleased to announce that most of Koha dependencies (as listed in
Makefile.PL) are present and up-to-date in Debian. The only exceptions
are:
* XML::RSS: the package libxml-rss-perl is outdated but its maintainer
  has just accepted that the package will be maintained by the Debian
  Perl Group. So it should be ok very soon.
* Zebra [and Koha itself]: they will need more work

According to a recent post on this list, zebra seems to require a more
recent version of ZOOM (or at least of libyaz) than the one currently in
Debian:
Makefile.PL (from Koha) requires ZOOM >= 1.16 that works with libyaz2 2.1.48.
Both ZOOM 1.16 and libyaz2 2.1.48 are on my webpage and in Debian experimental.
But newer versions seem to be required.

There is good hope here again that we will be able to upload an up-to-date
yaz package in a few weeks.

  Next step: packaging zebra and Koha...

  Best regards,
    Vincent
