The add-ons packages are available only for <em>unstable</em> and <em>testing</em> distributions. <em>stable</em> is not supported.</p> <h2 id="type">Source vs. binary</h2> <p>Debian packages, or debs, come in two types: source and binary. Source packages consists of the original source files which are downloaded and compiled on your system at install time. Source packages should install on any architecture for which autotools are available, i.e., most commonly used architectures (including i386, ia64 and sparc). The add-ons repository contains source debs for all packages.</p> <p>Binary packages are pre-compiled for a particular architecture and will work correctly only on that architecture. <em>i386</em> is the most commonly used architecture. The add-ons repository contains i386 debs for all packages.</p> <h2 id="depends">Dependencies</h2> <p>Some packages require the software from another package in order to functions correctly. In this case, the second package is a dependency of the first. Some of the packages in the add-ons repository have dependencies. Any dependencies not available from standard debian repositories are included in the add-ons repository.</p> <p>Most modern package management tools (e.g. <em>aptitude</em> and <em>synaptic</em>) handle dependencies automatically.</p> <h2 id="install">Installing packages</h2> <p>Debian packages are not routinely installed directly. Instead, they are made available to Debian's package management system by adding the appropriate information to the master package source list file <code>/etc/apt/source.list</code>. This action requires root privileges. Contact your system administrator if you do not have root access.</p> <p>You then use a package management tool such as <em>aptitude</em>, <em>synaptic</em>, <em>dselect</em> or <em>apt-get</em>. These tools take care of dependency tracking and various other tasks. The specific tool you use will have accompanying instructions for how to install a particular package.</p> <p>To make your package management tools aware of the add-ons repository, you must add an appropriate line to <code>/etc/apt/source.list</code> file. To make binary packages available for installation, use the following line:</p> <pre> deb http://refdb.sourceforge.net/debian/addons/ <em>distro</em> main </pre> <p>Replace <em>distro</em> with either <em>testing</em> or <em>unstable</em> depending on the Debian distribution you are using.</p> <p>To install from a source package rather than a binary, use the same line but substitute <em>deb-src</em> for <em>deb</em>.</p> </div> <!-- the footer, to be displayed across the page at the bottom --> <div id="foot"> <div id="footleft">$Date: 2005/09/26 12:09:20 $</div> <div id="footright">Copyright 2004 <a href="mailto:mho...@us...">Markus Hoenicka</a></div> </div> </body> </html> |
