hello, has anybody thought of creating deb/rpm packages of sql-ledger? if all of the rather complicated setup (for unexperienced/first time users) would be done automatically, most topcis about obscure error messages after first install would never appear on this list and everyone could be consentrating on sql-ledger bookkeeping related issues or adding new features to sql-ledger. the package scripts could be set to handle adding apache configuration, setting direcotory permissions, complaining about failed dependencies, configure postgres authentication, maybe even add shortcuts to user's kde/gnome desktop.. I'll try to put something together for Redhat 7.2 since that's what I'm currently using. Any ideas what do you think about the idea in general, how thigs should be set up by default, comments from people who have experience in creating rpm or deb packages and like to help (eq supporting other distibutions), etc. are welcome. -- Martin Lillepuu | e-mail: ma...@li... | gsm: +372 515 6450 |

I am (slowly) packaging SQL-Ledger for Debian. It will be an official part of Debian GNU/Linux, and thus not be put in /usr/local as Dieter (correctly) suggests on the packaging page. - Jonas -- Jonas Smedegaard (+45 40843136) http://dr.jones.dk/~jonas/ Spiff ApS (= IT-guide dr.

I would VERY much like to see this option indeed! Being a 'simple bookkeeper' I did not yet get SQL-ledger up on either Suse, Red Hat, Mandrake or ELX. This is very likely mostly due to my lack of Linux skills, the quality of the mails in this list and the documentation lead me to believe this is an excellent accounting package. Unfortunately I do not have the time to become a Linux specialist any time soon, so RPM or DEB based install (now THAT I can do ;-) would be perfect. I would be willing to change over to whatever Linux distro needed gladly! Because I NEED a semi or pro accounting package, at the moment I am stuck to M$. If Debian or any other distro could come with RPM-based (or even as included part, wow!) my guess is that 'the penguin' will have a whole bunch of new followers real soon, accounting being the only thing missing for SOHO needs up till now. An easy foolproof (that's me again ;-) Linux install with spreadsheet, mail, word editor, browser and accounting package is more than ample for 99% of small to medium size companies.

A private installation can be setup without root access. No changes to any other configuration files are needed. Of course you must have perl, DBI and DBD-(Pg|Oracle) installed and either Postgres or Oracle running or at least have access to a SQL server. 1. Unpack SQL-Ledger in your home directory 2. setup one user in postgres If your name has already been added or if you use the postgres superuser you can forget this step 3. load the webserver (cd dnhttpd/exec; ./dnhttpd.pl) 4. load your browser 5. connect to http://localhost:8000/admin.pl 6. setup a company (Database Administration -> Create Dataset) 7. setup a user (Add User) log in or connect to http://localhost:8000/login.pl and log in.
