    Hi all.

    I have included FriFinans and all its dependencies in my repository. It can be set up like this:

    sudo wget http://downloads.kaspernj.org/ubuntu/kaspernj.org.sources.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kaspernj.org.sources.list
    sudo aptitude update
    sudo aptitude install frifinans-testing-server
    sudo aptitude install frifinans-testing-client

    Then FriFinans can be started from "Applications" -> "Office".

    If you want to have a look at the code (or you want to debug it), it will be placed in "/opt/ffserver" and "/opt/ffclient".

    The default setup is with a SQLite-database - which can behave a bit buggy. Our testing environment is with a MySQL-database, but it is a lot harder to package that :-(

      Hi Kasper,
      This is awesome. Works really fine. I installed a Virtualbox with a fresh Ubuntu 8.04 and it worked right out of the box.
      My only comment is that it would be nice if the installer asked if you wan't to use MySQL or not and the install mysql if it's not already there.

      But the problem was easy solved with

      1) sudo apt-get install mysql-server
      2) cd /opt/ffserver/doc/sql_excamples/
      3) mysqladmin create frifinans-test -u root -p
      4) mysqladmin frifinans-test -u root -p < frifinans_mysql_structure.sql

      + adjustting /opt/ffserver/etc/frifinans.ini acordingly

      Only problem was, that because I'm running 8.04 i was missing a library, so I had to do:

      5) wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xcb-util/libxcb-render-util0_0.2.1+git1-1_i386.deb
      6) dpkg -i xcb-util/libxcb-render-util0_0.2.1+git1-1_i386.deb
